Re: Malaysian Trumpet Snails
in a planted aquarium the MTS is your best friend, they only reporduce in huge numbers because the tank is dirty, thats the ONLY reason they reproduce, no filth no more snails, they will stop breeding as to not run out of food as well.
This isn't exactly true. MTS will breed in any tank as long as you have a male and female. They really don't eat much algae, but will keep the substrate cleaner by eating left over food. And if you really want to see how many you have just don't feed the tank for a couple of days and the walls will be covered with them. Then they will eat the algae that is there.
