Is This Mts?

[dizzied]

I saw this on ebay. link

Is that MTS, or a different species? It's looks a lot more "compact" compared to mine.

Links not working, but they are maybe just Melanoides granifera?

I have both M.granifera and M.tuberculata in my aquarium, though M.granifera seem to be more prolific (or at least arent eaten by the loaches as fast).

Ebay does seem to have it's problems.

But this is the snail in question.

Nope, that's not a MTS.

I've seen them tonnes of times before on german websites though, I'll have a look this evening /

Ive seen them sold as "Brown Striped Trumpet Snail" but common names are sometimes misleading, and I dont know what the latin name is for them?

 

[dizzied]

It is indeed sold simply as "Brown Striped Trumpet Snail", with no reference as to the scientific name.

Hmmm...I had a look at the sites I thought I might have seen it on, but its not there .

I'm sure I've seen it before though, I'll keep looking, must have been a forum or something .

I could've sworn I've seen it before too.

Maybe I'll get myself some. My MTS look so bland.
