Wyldfya is right I have these snails in many of my tanks and rarely see any,except when I turn the lights on early to bag fish for auction or something like that
SNAIL INVASION. HELP!
- Thread starter AROWANABE

Actually loaches have little to no impact on this species of snail. MTS are just such a hard shelled snail that few things can break their shells. I've had loaches with the MTS, and the loaches made no impact on reproduction.AquataHolic420;751791;751791 said:
maybe pulling all your gravel and boiling it? That would of course kill the beneficial bacteria.. but I do see these snails only in my gravel in one of my tanks... rarely on the glass or anywhere else, I have them in my piranha tank, they are probably help chewing the large waste...
I used to get clumpy rafts of them floating around in a huge orgy, and finaly i just started scooping them and tossing them in with my cichlids, the just suck them right out of the shell. well finaly i had a ph crash and i lost 80% of my fish and all of the snails. there are anly a little bit left, but if i ever get a dead fish now all i do is look for a pile of snales, they take care of the bodies in no time. i almost feel bad removing the snails. the best way of taking care of them is to either crush them with your finger or scoop them and prepair a bowl or hot water with ALOT of salt, and dump them in there they pop out of the shell and die instantly.
I resomend just leaving them...
And im not an expert on puffers or anything but you must ne high to think that a pufers beak cant get through a shell they chewup plastic and hard corals for gawd sakes.
I changed my gravel and this upset my balance so bad that the tank didnt cycle for three months, i persony dont recommend this method...

These guys shouldnt be a problem.
Get a raphiel cat, it should eat all the babys, but other then that MTS arent bad for your plants. And they shouldnt be hard to get rid of by hand one by one, since they done spread as fast as other snails.
These guys actualy only come out mostly at night. During the day they hide in the gravel.

Puffers have very strong beaks, but MTS can often break these beaks. It is a bad idea to offer these snails to puffers.portabuddy;752640;752640 said:
