Snail:floating.

[Dasher]

Today i found that one of my snails to be floating in the tank,so i picked it up and put it back,it sunk to the bottom of the tank and after that it was fine.my snails have done this before and sunk to the bottom by themselfs,i just want to know if this is normal or some new way of snail transportation.

Yes the common pond snails do that - they manage to stick them selves to the top of the water using surface tention. looks really arb to see for the 1st time.

even when i bump it down they come back up.
