Assassin snails will end rogue MTS'???

[fishboyt]

I have a few ideas.

Maybe some survived in the filter in the filter?

I will say for sure Assassin snails will do the best job. I have had botias with very limited success and I dont wont loaches as the are much more aggressive diggers and uproot plants a lot more than botias. I have a heavily planted 90G tank and I ordered about 10 assassin snails for it. I had way more MTS than I can count probably in the hundreds and they would carpet the ground and glass at night. Now 5 months later I realized I dont remember the last time I have seen an MTS in the tank. I only see the assassins now which reproduce slower than MTS and look cooler. If you want a few let me know between the two tanks I have them in I have enough to go around and control the MTS population.

im curious why urs are so evil. Mine dont eat my plants, attack my fish, and it is very rare i see one during the day

I scrubbed the entire filter and put all new media in it. Luckily I have pretty good well water that I rarely have any problem with. I know i will go through a bloom, but basically I went back to a fresh tank.
I am going to try assassins... I had one and it got eaten by the evil snails. One more shot... the mts' I am seeing right now are small...so the chances are better that they can be consumed... *sighs*

I would do a combination of removing mts manually and adding predators like the assasin snails.

use a net to drag mts off the glass whenever you see them on it and throw them down the toilet

you could even put some sinking wafers or whatever in the tank to lure some of the snails into a bunch and scoop em up as well

I had a mild mts outbreak in my 30 gallon tank and always just scooped em out in the evening to control them... I put 2 assasin snails in it and now I will occasionally see one or 2 mts.. but thats all.
