Hello!!! I know this is a common problem, but I haven't found many answers to it. My apple snail, Darla has been escaping. She escaped once in the past about 3 months ago while I was at school, she fell and chipped the mantel of her shell, but was okay. In the last week and a half she has escaped three more times. She doesn't go far and I always find her within a few hours. She escapes through the filter hole, and I covered it with cardboard but didn't realize she could just move it! I want to upgrade to a 5 gallon (currently in a 3 gallon) so if anyone has any suggestions for good tanks with completely covered hoods that would. Be great! But primarily, I want to know how to get her from escaping! There is a few inches of air at the top of the tank, and I clean the tank regularly and the water parameters haven't changed as far as I know. So how do I keep her in the tank before she hurts herself again? Thanks!
