snails in BW tank

[Jase]

I can't remember if this has been brought up before, but I found something interesting today. There are healthy adult Malaysian Trumpet Snails in my BW tank which has been between 1.010 and 1.016 (I vary the sg over time...) for a while now. I haven't had MTS in my house for months, and i haven't added anything new to that tank...
So anybody wanting snails in their Brackish tank and aren't worried about the possibility of your puffer cracking a tooth then MTS will work. I have tried to get pond snails going in this tank with no luck, they just die (find empty shells in the filter). I personally don't want them and will start trying to remove them... I hate MTS.

btw, I only noticed, because I saw Hootey trying to crack one.

Sorry to hear that, really am lol. Those things reproduce like crazy. I tried to get rid of them once but they just dont die. If you have sand you can just use a screen or a sift to get them out of the substrate, wont ever get rid of them though, at least not in my experience. I dont mind a couple but I dont like the sight of too many, takes away from the attractivness of the tank IMO.

haha, I forgot about this. I just hate them because they get out of control and fast...
haven't seen any in a while, so they might be gone, but I doubt it.
