it should be okay, as long as
1. it does not directly touch the snails before it melts
2. is at a higher density than one tablespoon per gallon

No, salt and snails do not mix. Adding salt to your freshwater tank can be good for "some" of your fish but is bad for snails.

It is, however, one way to cut down on the snail breeding in your tank if you don't have any fish that are sensitive to salt.

One teaspoon per five gallons of water will help your fish fight off bacteria and parasites. Just be sure that none of your fish are salt sensitive.

personally i wouldn't ever mix any kind of salt with a freshwater snail.

it can be done, but at a very low concentration, and done very slowly. if you don't see the snail come out of it's shell for a day, lower the concentration! or it might be too late. and never put pure salt into the tank, always make sure it's dissolved first.

for sure. did you know that in France they positioned salt on each style of snail to kill and devour the snails.right here i imagine this can help you position your gold secret snail in seprate water and pour salt in the tank the position the different snails are.After the snails are useless throw the snails in the trash and pour the saltwater in the sink.
