i just picked up a few of these snails today and i was wondering if they would breed with my ramshorn snails this is kinda of stupid question but they are snails
 
They won't interbreed with eachother, but it only takes one malayan trumpet snail to reproduce, they can do it asexually. Did you purposefully buy them?
 
i didn't buy them the lfs gave them to me b/c he had so many and i liked there style
 
I got some of those about 6 months ago. I think I got 5... now I have about 1,000,000,000,000 in my 75 gallon. Guess that means I'm over feeding...
 
i got 4 of them and i have about 20 ramshorn one i started with like 5 but it seems they slowed down on breeding since i stuck them in the 125 which is wreid since they where in a 50
 
I almost made that mistake when I first started keeping. Good luck....You may have snail shell substrate before too long.
 
i don't find snails as a nuisance i don't get why people do is there something bad they do to the tank

They multiply by the thousands if conditions are right. They can bust up pumps, clog drains, and just get into spaces where nothing should be. My LFS has to pick them out of the sumps by the handfuls. If you starve them and they start dying, you get stink water.
 
I like snails a lot. But no those won't breed.
