APPLESNAILS & FANCY MTS!
These snails are from top breeder stock, obtained from several sources for a diverse gene pool. They are raised in an ideal environment including Coral, Tufa Rock and Texas Holey Rock with added Liquid Calcium for strong, healthy shell development. Their diet is high in fresh vegetables, calcium and protein. Sizes range from pea-size to breeder-size, depending on what is on hand.
All of these snails love many different varieties of algae, keep your plants clean of dead & dying foliage, clean up left over food & even undetected dead fish. The Applesnails produce infusoria and are a wonderful worker for fry tanks. A very important part of the naturally maintained aquarium! One snail, of course, can only do so much, so you may want to combine their algae eating skills with other algae eaters, or breed/purchase more as your requirements dictate.
:snail: Fancy MTS: Ember - I probably have the only selectively bred fancy MTS on the planet...lol. MTS are substrate dwelling snails which usually remain buried through the day unless extremely overpopulated. This means that you get all of the benefits, from substrate aeration to algae eating to clean up crew, but you don't have to see the men at work ;) . When you do see them you won't yawn at the dull brown MTS variety commonly seen, because you'll have fancy MTS! The Ember fancies have varying shades of gold setting off trailing red splotches resembling a burning ember. They do not eat healthy plants!
