Chinese mystery snail

This is a valuable data point. It's important to know when/where we find zero Chinese mystery snails, and there are lots of reasons for this. When we find them, we'd like to know how long they've been there. Without any "zeros" it's hard to do that. Also, if we want to know what conditions are favorable to the snail, it helps a lot if we know what conditions they tend to avoid.

Thanks for this observation, and keep up the good work.
