I'm tempted to get a tank to keep a puffer fish in, so I'm not wasting all these snails.
I havent struggled with the MTS but I despise pond and ramshorn snails. Well then again my assassin snails eat the MTS pretty fast... I actually take free ones from petsmart lolGood idea. I probably net out 100 MTS on a daily basis and still the buggers replicate....
I hate to be a naysayer but well fed assassin snails reproduce fairly quickly. While much much slower than ramshorn, pond, ior trumpet snails it is faster than generally implied. My laid like 20 eggs in a week or 2. But they are sellable at least.Assassins are slow reproducers. They will not take over your tank by any means. Don't worry about that

lol maybe it is like bettas. One acts this way the other does the opposite lol Ive heard they breed slow but the ones I got bred fast and my LFS said they had other customers saying the same happened to them. Fish are just so finicky!I've had 5 assassins in my tank for the last 2 years no babies :-( I must be doing something wrong? There's plenty of "food" for them. Must be too busy eating to do the deed?
