Re: MALAYSIAN TRUMPET SNAILS anyone #33
Here you go they lay eggs as opposed to the live bearing MTS so this may help identify yours EB

Re: MALAYSIAN TRUMPET SNAILS anyone #34
Hi Goldy,

they don't look like the on in the 1st photo [they're more rounded]...but I can't open the 2nd photo I'm afraid.

Thanks,

Re: MALAYSIAN TRUMPET SNAILS anyone #37
According to that link they are called tadpole snail which lay jelly eggs under plant leaves as opposed to live bearing MTS, have you noticed any eggs in your tank at all
anyway peeps have posted some off to you all this afternoon so hopefully they will arrive tomorrow, please let me know when they do ok

Re: MALAYSIAN TRUMPET SNAILS anyone #39
Hi Goldy,

sorry I didn't reply sooner............no - we haven't noticed any eggs at all.

I have looked now.........still can't see any.

We tried the cucumber 'trick' - obviously our snails don't care much for cucumber!!


I think we may go and try and get some Assassin Snails - I've got to try and get another one or two Weather Loaches now

Thanks for all your help Goldy
