Welcome MTS babies!

I read that Malaysian Trumpet Snails (MTS) give birth to live young, which I think is awesome, so I was pleasantly surprised to discover some MTS babies in my tank recently. Check it out!

I got my adult MTS from an online blog called Penang E-Aquarium :) Right now, my tank contains only snails - one apple snails, a few ramshorns and, of course, the MTS. I do see planaria and detritus worms sometimes and I think they're horrible!

Package from Penang E-Aquarium

A few weeks ago, I ordered some trumpet snails, nano marimo balls and duck weed from a blog shop called Penang E-aquarium. Jonathan replied to my emails and was very helpful with all my inquiries. Check out the package I received:

Isn't it a cute package? Not much longer than a pen.

My stuff came in these two small containers.

See my little trumpet snail? I ordered two, but they sent me three :)

It's been a few weeks now, the trumpet snails and marimo balls are doing just fine. My apple snails ate all the duckweed though, which is ok... at least they got a snack! The trumpet snails are quite shy, they like to hide in the gravel. Occasionally, at night, they'll come out to explore a little bit. I just love the trumpet snails, they are adorable! Thanks Penang E-Aquarium!
