Trade me for MTS, plants, anything pay shipping I don't care at this point, I don't want these never did. They are in a bag I want them shipped somewhere today. I love my MTS and I'm guessing the local fish store some how threw in these assassin's they have eaten a ton in only a few days. I really want them to go out with the mail in the next 2 hrs.

Wow, so they decimated your MTS population in such a short time? I wanted a couple for a tank I have that is overrun with pond snails. I have a growing MTS population in another. They showed up out of nowhere. I don't want to eliminate my MTS population though.

I think they were really hungry, I don't think they normally eat that much. Your welcome to them if you want them, I still have them unfortunately. lol

Heh.. thats a unique twist. So many people cant get these guys and have so many MTS. Shouldn't be too much of a problem to get rid of them.

I had to put them in ziploc bags I didn't have anywhere else.

I have about 100 Assassins already, thanks. They were very very effective in removing my pest snails. They do have quite the appetites. I literally tossed a few Assassins in and in the morning, I had empty Ramshorn shells littering the bottom of the tank.

I'm just worried they will try making a play on my olive nerite snails since they are not all that big.. I would really lose it if they ganged up on my Apple Snail!!

Inga

I have HUGE numbers of Assassins and they have never bothered my Apple Snail. They do occasionally suck on her big shell but then they simply drop off. Never saw any gang attacks. I think as long as you keep your numbers in check you shouldn't have any issues with them. You can simply scoop a few out if you think there are too many. I don't know what they would do with Nerite snails as I don't have any of those.

Okay, if you still have them PM me.. I have some juvenile MTS snails I can send in exchange if you are interested? I am not sure how the population started to begin with. One day I saw a lone MTS snail and was surprised but thought it hitched with the same plant as the pond snails. That population exploded and they are everywhere. The MTS snail though there was just the one. It grew and months later I spot another MTS.. and another.. before long I counted at least ten juvies.

I am also interested in assassin snails! And Inga- if you have some I'd like some of those too! (sorry not meaning to hijack the thread)

I have ALOT of MTS, and if this offer still stands or to anyone willing to trade, I can give you enough MTS to bring your population back and am interested in trading for assassins. You can email me at jcmoell@hotmail.com for immediate responses! thanks!
