I've got thousands and thousands of MTS and pond snails and they are not the ones that I'm so happy about, the three remaining assassin snails that I got off E-bay some nine months ago have finally got busy because I spotted a little one that was about a quarter inch long today crawling along the front glass. I am sooo happy... :18:

Congratulations!!! It's ???? boys and ???? girls! Now that their intermingling, Those MTS and PS should have their hands full and die!

I think I need to get a couple more... but am fearful they will team up on Nerite and Difussa. Thinking about renting a Loach and airlifting out Nerite, Assassin, and Diffusa before the strike team hits.

That's what I am waiting for too Gadget Lol. What's your secret? I am playing the Barry White too low? ;-)

Bignellm, I have [half a dozen] assassins in a 90g with [9 or 10] Nerite with no issues. - YMMV

I have a few assassins, too, but the only problem is they breed so slow and pond snails so fast that there's simply no way of playing catch-up.

Hmm, I know it can easily be 6 months. I am gonna switch them to a steady diet of Al Green.

I've only started seeing the remains of his meals in the last couple weeks. And definitely on the outnumbered breeding issue. For the love of all that's good, I wish the PS would get OUT of the mood.

Also, what is YMMV?

But if my PS keep increasing I will be doing this:

YMMV = Your Mileage May Vary

As long as there is a viable food source, PS are NEVER out of the mood lol.

[Whatever PS are easily reachable] I squish for the shrimp to eat [& a few fish snack on them also]

Been on a squishing binge myself... It doesn't feel nearly as gross under the thumb as I thought it would.

I still feel like sending in Loach team 1, on these insurgents. The LFS will probably make me buy, instead of rent... but it will be so worth it to see the massacre. :sniperprone:
These Pond Snails are making me soo unbalanced atm.
