Wow, so many snail-keepers!

I've seen apple snails dried up behind some tanks in an LFS before, also eggs on the tank's bracing. After that, I swore not to keep apple snails.

I can tolerate ramshorn snails and other similar sized ones, but apple snails are so much bigger!

Whatever it is, I think you guys won't want malayan trumpet snails in your tanks. I've come across an MTS infested tank and that gave me nightmares.

Why do you find snail-keeping fun? Cute huh?

No problem bro.....thank bro LTL la.

Anyway, like u, i wanted to breed snails as a constant supply of crunch for my puffer, but i think they take too long to grow big, about minimum one month, so i guess breeding them for fun is my priority for em now.
