Why would snails loose energy if a a disease killed all hedgehogs?
If all hedgehogs were to be wiped out by a disease, snails might lose energy due to a potential increase in their population, leading to higher competition for limited resources such as food and habitat. Additionally, without hedgehogs to control their numbers, snails may face a denser environment that could result in increased stress and reduced access to nutrients. This stress and resource competition can ultimately lead to energy depletion and lower overall health for the snail population.

Is it a good sign to have bred snails in a tropical fish tank?
It is only a good sign if you wanted to breed snails. Snails are pests that can destroy the ecosystem in your aquarium, regardless of the type of aquarium. If you are breeding snails (for whatever reason), use an aquarium devoted to your snail breeding. As others have said about snail infestations, when they die they decay, producing ammonia and other poisons. With fish, this can lead to lowered immune function, disease, and eventually death. If you don't want the snails, you can remove them with medicines sold at your local pet store. ~Wigglerthefish Fish Help Forum
