Malaysian Trumpet Snails (MTS) in Winter

“The males are rare, making up for 10 to 33% of population.”

Malaysian Trumpet Snails (MTS)

IT is notoriously difficult to curb the expansion of Malaysian Trumpet Snail (MTS) populations and they can adapt to a wide range of conditions with water as hot as about 50 °C (122 °F).

Rianne’s fishtank received only one such MTS and now there are dozens, only months later.

Seeing how fast life can spread is fulfilling, but it also fills up tanks. Short of culling, there can be diseases or parasites impacting large populations (overcrowding).
