My molly tried to eat an MTS and it died?

All in the title.... Shocked and devastated

Just want to know is it possible?

I've heard about fish eating them but never one dying from one. I'm sorry about your fish!

It's alright it's just that I feel so bad it was in my care and it died

Malaysian trumpet snail with huge pointy shells. Very dangerous in hindsight.

Oh wow that sucks. Are those the tiny white ones that sometimes come in on plants? I have those and now I'm worried!

I think they're only light or dark brown.They have long pointy shells. They're very pretty and I can't wait for them to breed! I just hope no more of my fish try to eat them. Maybe it took a casualty to know they're not a snack...

Lol it looks like they're all gone except for a few shells pointing up in the gravel. That's what they're here for :/ I thought I saw 3 couples breeding before they went in the gravel

It only takes 1 to breed so it's not all that hard since they are after all asexual.

Lol learn new things everyday! Most people get infested with MTS just watch out don't want to many!

Sounds like a freak accident, I'd call this a one-off and let darwin have one point.

Yeah. I hate those things. But my clown loaches love them! Lol

Actually they aren't pond snails. I just looked up these MTS and they look very much like these but only about 1/8 long. Very tiny. And once they are in your tank they go nuts. Went from a few to a few thousand like overnight.
