Holy crap!
In my tiny 10 gallon tank all my fish died last year because the heat in this room and because the pH of water was too low. (Now I have an air conditioner.) I've kept the water flowing the whole time thinking I'd put fish in the tank, but never did. A few months later my lone snail disappeared too. I had put some fish food in every few weeks just in case the snail was still alive, but stopped several months ago, because I hadn't seen the snail in months.
So basically, for several months, no new food was going in the tank. Furthermore in the last couple of weeks I've been putting in acid and base to get the pH balanced, and other chemicals, and was changing the water and stirring up the gravel, etc.
Today I put in some new fish and some fish food.
Suddenly, this afternoon, my little snail is back again! :Q Maybe s/he was just lonely?
