- Start date
ive had lots and lots of these guys
it all depends on the size of the tank
and what you have in the tank
it took mounths to find a single snail in my 46 gallon
because of my fish picking at them
but ive also had them in a 10 and 3 gallon tank
they grew like weeds in the 3 gallon
and slower in the 10 gallon
the higher the temperature the faster they grow
but filterwise
i found hundreds of tiny tiney babeys laying on the bottom of my filter
and im not sure but what looked to be eggs all over the walls of the filter
theyre not hard to care for at all
so no good luck grants are needed
lol

if they get into the impeller...yes.
Ive only had problems with MTS in my HOB, never my canister filter

well if they become a pain in can always put clowns in that tank I was only woried about the filters
I always have a ton in my canisters but none of them hit the impeller so I don't worry about it and clean them out when I clean the filter.

MTS do not lay eggs. They are live bearing snails.
Most fish do not pick at MTS because they tend to come out mainly at night.
