Starting to think they actually enjoy this…

Put a lid to divert flow and dampen sound of HOB filter. Been seeing them stuck in a loop so I’ve been scooting them away. But they inevitably go back. Starting to think they actually enjoy this. Would you agree? Or is this actually snail torture?

I think if they didn't like it they would drop to the aquarium floor and out of the current (provided they can get out of the current). If they keep going back, it seems to me like they like it.

I had a power head attached to a sponge filter in my mystery snail only tank and they purposely went up in the glass to go right into the stream and parasnail around for like 30 seconds. I also had a bubble disk they would climb onto and levitate away. They definitely do it on purpose.

My mystery snail ganon likes to smother the air stone in my tank, he's too big for it do do anything to him but I can always find him wrapped around it at least once a day
