Sulawesi And Mts

[lilacamy931]

Just a couple of quick questions

Sulawesi rabbit snails - planning on picking up some tomorrow for a nice heated/filtered tank, need to know are their any special requirements? They will have sand substrate, fake plants, will feed spirinula flak and algae tabs.

MTS - I got some a while a go and put 50 in a 100g and about 30 in a 25g. I have not seen ONE since, not one. Is it because they do only come out after dark? I put flake in but unsure if they are even alive?

Lastly is it ok to mix snail species?

No experience with Sulewesi as mine all arrived dead. However have lots of MTS which keep breeding. Yes they are mostly nocturnal but you should be able ot spot them in the evening after 7pm if you have so mny. If you want to know whether MTS are still alive
1. Watch out for the mini trenches they leave behind in the sand as a trail when they move about
2.Drop in a slice od cucumber/ Within 30 mins it should be covered wiht snails.
