Trumpet snails?

when i looked in my tank today i saw a few baby trumpet snails does anyone know any info about trumpet snails

Trumpet snails?
if they ate Malaysian trumpet snails you have a few options.





you can leave them. malaysian trumpet snails are a "good snail" which will dig through the substrate and eat any uneaten food particles. by diging through the substrate the snails prevent and gas pockets from forming under the substrate (depending on the substrate)





you can try to remove the snails but you will never get them all. i would recomed a method to get rid of the snails. first put a piece of cuccumber or zuccini on the bottom of the tank and turn off the lights or cover the tank to prevent any light from coming in. after a bout an hour or two, turn the lights back on, and remove the zuccini which should be covered in snails, and pick the remaining off the glass.





MTS are a livebearing snail and will give birth to living snails that are very very small, so you will never get all the snails but you could try.
Reply:Well, I do not know much about snails, but just to warn you, I got some pet snails, only two, and they multiply fast!
Reply:yea get rid of them before they breed again
Reply:Ditto. Get rid of them asap. These little critters don't need a significant other to make more babies. They can do it all by themselves. Unless you love the idea of being overrun with thousands of these snails, you gotta pick 'em out as soon as you see 'em.
