Re: [APD] Re: MTS Malaysian trumpeter snails



As Wright Huntley and others have stated before: MTS snails are the curse
for those of us keeping egglayers in our
tanks, as they are so proficient at eating eggs. If you keep
livebearers or are after zero population growth in your
egglayers, MTS won't harm the former, and would be
most effective for the latter. Seeing an MTS in one of my
killie tanks means I wasn't vigilant enough when I introduced new plants to
the tank: the tank is broken down to  bare glass and thoroughly cleaned,
substrate is 100% changed out, the plants gone over with a magnifying glass
before reintroduced.....your basic nightmare.
