Oh, yeah, don't put cories in a goldfish tank. Cories are tropical, and also a goldfish will try to eat anything that looks like it might fit in their mouth.

Keeping aquatic pets is kind of like having a whole tiny ecosystem as a pet. That's one of the coolest and most rewarding things about it, but it's also a little terrifying sometimes. A dog is dependent on you for food, shelter, and socialization, but typically not breathable air. All you can do is do the research and try your best to provide a good home.

And yeah, they do have a terrarium, but they need an upgrade actually. I did have them in a reasonably nice little setup in an old minibow, but there wasn't a good way to secure the lid properly and they actually escaped for a while. Land snails are stronger than you'd think! So now I have them in a little critter keeper, and it's... fine? But it'd be better to have something bigger, with more stuff to climb on or hide under, and maybe some live plants. Right now I have to change the soil more frequently because of the size of the container, and while grove snails are not... the most neurologically advanced of pets, they do roam around a fair amount in the wild and prefer to burrow under things or stick on trees when resting/hibernating/aestivating, so a larger, more decorated container would probably be healthier for them.
