OK, so how and when do MTS breed?
Do they do it during the day under the gravel covers or at night in the dark without prying eyes?:D
And no I'm not a voyeur:no:

Not sure when or how, but they breed like crazy.
Toss a handfull in tank, wait a few weeks and you'll have hundreds.:err:

I do know that MTS are a livebearing snail, so you won't see any eggs for sure.
If you have a sponge filter in your tank, you'll see the young up on the sponge munching.

They are indeed a Livebearing snail. They'll start filling the tank in no time. The particular strain I sold you is quite prolific (Ember), some are less so. They're not as prolific as the plain brown ones, which can easily become pests, so its a nice medium.
They prefer lights out for breeding or soft candlelight at most. ;)
