Its you, Ive had no problem getting rid of them this way.

They are the good snails I guess, they have done wonders in my planted tanks and even a barebottom 15 I got they keep it spotless.


I use a salt shaker to catch the big ones that are elusive when my hands are in there scooping em out, they learn not to come out just after lights-out.

I use a vacation feeder block in the shaker, by the next morning the shaker is packed full and usually has to be broken to harvest the snails. I am not losing them, I got tons and plan on keeping a few hundred in each tank. MTS are sellable snails, alot of people want them that have no access to them. I need to sell about 50 boxes to make 5 bucks so its not a profit deal at all. my fry do that.

I did trade off 1000 MTS for a breeding pair of assassin snails, food for killer snails, A+ in my book.
