Hi are Malaysian Trumpet Snails safe with fish eggs i just want to be sure as i was going to get some to turn my sand over in my tank.
cheers

i'll send you as many as you want for the cost of postage

I just added a ton of them from a fellow hobbyist; they are doing a great job of cleaning up debris, algae and sifting through sand. My only problem is that they stick out like a sore thumb in the black sand and I fear they might be outcompeting the Zebra for food. Does anyone have this problem?

that would be great what is the price of postage?

it would be £2 postage, send me you address

Storey... If your over my way - your more than welcom to collect some

cheers smithrc

I've got them in all my tanks. They eat dead eggs that are kicked out, but never had any trouble with them trying to get to the live ones.

I do however try to keep the number reasonable, as they will eat the Zebras food, and get in the way of them, if there are too many of them.

Rule of thumb: if you can see them during the day you've got too many Exeption is: if you've got high levels of Nitrate or Nitrite, they will crawl up the glass no matter what time it is.

Thanks for the advice McEve

Thanks hamish

I too,would like to share some MTS. Cost of postage only. They are very prolific in just a couple of my tanks and I'd love to send some to any takers.

so they are a good way to tell that your tank needs a water change if there on the glass in the day?

if the mature ones are - yes - I find smaller ones are out and about most the time...

they can be pain if you let them get outa control, i just had to clear out my main tank and put boiling water in to get rid of them, sound cruel but it was like a carpet in there
