duh duh duh Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I have decided that I need some snails to get through my sand to keep turning it over. The sand is too fine for my gravel vacuum so it is on to Plan B, namely snails. My thought would be Malaysian Trumpet Snails but I thought I should ask the experts. Note: I have a tank of barbs, tetras, and will be going to plecos, corys, and possibly leaving 1 bumblebee catfish in there. Not sure which of those would eat snails (if any) but obviously dont want to drop $$$ on something that won't last a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattsBettas Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Malaysian Trumpets dig and stir, I know planted tank keepers often use them to keep soil from going anaerobic. Assassins burrow too but it'll cost a lot more to get enough to make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipperocks Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 My zebra snails are amazing, they dig and burrow, too big to be eaten, and they don't reproduce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronChefItaly Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 +1 for mts, as long as you keep the food sources under control i.e. plant detritus and excess food you shouldn't have and population problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
