It is in their nature to move around from place to place, helps spread their species. I suppose it is a evolutionary trait. Also, it could be a sign that the tank's water is out of balance, and that they are trying to find a better home. Apple snails leave the water to lay eggs as well, usually they'll put them just above the water line.

What are watersnails?

I am not a water snail expert, but first (obviously) I know that they are snails that live in water. These snails will dry up when they are outside of water, and when they escape, this usually means the water they are inside is dirty, so check your water quality if you are a water snail keeper. I sometimes call these water snails aquarium snails, the ones that are sold in petstores. There are Mystery snails and Apple snails in this column.

You don't need to use anything other than lettuce. Float a lettuce leaf in the aquarium overnight, and in the morning it will be covered with snails. Then, take it out and throw it away. Do this until there are no more snails.
