Oh ho, this rings a bell.  I had my rivulus agilae in a small tank
with Malaysian Trumpet Snails and hardly got any eggs.  For unrelated
reasons, I decided to redo their tank, and didn't throw any MTSs in
this time.  Now I am getting lots of eggs.  I thought it was just
different conditions that were causing the increase.  Very interesting.

And annoying- most of my tanks tend to get planted, and MTSs are really
good in planted tanks!
