One of my snails keeps fighting witht he others D: I dont no whethers its just her and her short temper or its something much more serious, when ever shes crawling down the tank wall and meets another snail that dosnt move she lifts her head up and starts lunging forward at the other one nipping it and opening her mouth. At first we thought it was a lack of space and were thinking of upgrading the house to a bigger one but i dont no whats causing the fighting.. HELP!  |

Hi amybythway, welcome to the forum. How big is your tank, how many snails are in it and what species are they (and how big are they)? It is possible the tank may be too crowded and this is causing aggression. It is also possible this is a prelude to mating (snails will sometimes nuzzle with their mouth prior to mating).
If overcrowding is not the issue, it is possible it's mating behavior. If you don't want to deal with eggs, or if it just bothers you, you could isolate the snail in her own tank.
