Has anyone kept Malaysian Trumpet Snails in brackish water? I want something to stir up the sand in my mudskipper tank. Thanks :D

Yup,

I just set up a tank for Halocaridina rubra about 6 weeks ago and did it by slowly adding salt to an already established aquarium over several days. I first removed all plants, pond snails, and Ramshorn snails I could catch as I knew they would perish, but I left the MTS in.

Tank is now at 1.012 and fully cycled going through the maturing process before I add shrimp to further allow growth of bio film. The MTS? Doing fine and happy as ever.

Cheers, Bill
