Hau kolas..I have a 29 gallon heavily planted tank that is equally heavily infested with MTS..I've pulled 2500 of these little suckers out of this tank alone since April. Unfortunately, no exaggeration. Loaches have been less than impressive in controlling these, perhaps they're overwhelmed by the numbers, perhaps too well fed to "hunt". Usually the culled snails end up as supplemental bird food, but after pulling another 125 or so out of there today, it occurred to me that somebody here may have use for them; e.g. food for a puffer or the like. Got some pretty prolific ramshorns in there also. I'm in Lansing MI, if by chance anybody here is also or nearby and wants them, drop me a line. On a related note, what exactly do these buggers eat?!? Seems the population has never reached it's threshold and crashed, even before I started culling in April (do you know what a pound of MTS looks like?!? ). Predation is having minimal effect, I won't use chemical control, so perhaps resource limitation is next control? TIA for any input.
