All's Snails that ends Snails

My final Golden Apple snail has passed away. He'd been alone in his species in my tank since this last summer and has now succumbed to old age. He was at least 3 years old when he died.

The fish had been acting oddly for a week and the snail itself had not moved for quite a while. When I removed him from the tank today I could tell he was gone. It's the smell. Dead snails smell awful. Live snails have no oder.

I'll miss him and his incessant bubble surfing.
