I purchased 10x turbo snails from the lfs the other day, and they have been in my tank for a couple of days now. The odd thing is, they hardly ever move, clean, or eat. Is this normal at times, especially right after you add then? I returned to the lfs, and all thier snails seemed to be idle for the most part. I have had turbos before, and they were always moving about looking for something.

Could still be acclimating to the new tank... mine were pretty lazy for a while, but they started moving around more. What is your temp at?

Hmm, they are probably just getting used to your tank, IME. Mine sat around for a week or two before they really started working hard like they do now.
