Stinky Poll Question

So I wanna know what percentage of you have to know what dead things smell like?

specifically snails, you know its there in your tank dead, and you pull it out and just have to stick you nose in there and take a sniff :lol:

You don't have to sniff the snail or your fingers to know that the snail is dead......but that temptation got me and I dd both. Guess I just had to pin point it and make sure that was definitely where that smell was coming from.
