GSP on snails back

A little while back i posted a thread talking about how I wanted to put some GSP on the back of my snail. Well, I finally got the green star polyps, and after it grew a little, i fragged a piece to the snails back. The snail was out of the water for just a couple seconds, and then submerged again. The next day the GSP was open, but the snail hadnt moved from where it was.

Today is 5 days later and I just got done pulling the snial out of the tank. It is dead. It smelt funky when I pulled it out, and when I flipped it over, it didnt look pretty.

I wont be attempting this again, and I thought I'd share with everyone my results.

RIP Big Snail

 

Was it too much weight for the poor snail

 

Snail Murderer. Didn't eat enough algae for yah so you crushed him eh?

 

I dont think it was too much weight. I really have no idea why he died.

And yes, he was a very lazy snail

 

what sort of glue did you use ? perhaphs this was the problem. ok for gsp but not the snail for sum reason?

 

Escargot ... with GSP garnish. ;D

 

I used regular gel super glue. Maybe it was just his time, he seemed very old.

 

That sucks. Maybe go get a perky looking turbo at the LFS and try again. If it was a grandpa snail and didn't move quickly anyhow I doubt it was the glue. It would be cool to see GSP growing on the snail

 

was he forcefully removed from the tank? :-/ I remember your other thread. I was looking forward to seeing pics of this. That's too bad. Sorry.

 

ya wow that sux, maybe it was just his time to go.
