I was just wondering what the addition of MTS does to the bioload of a tank. I wouldn't imagine that they would contribute much, but I wanted to make sure.
Thanks
Jen

It will add. They multiply on their own and depending on your set up may multiply quite quickly .
Don't let it hold you back from getting them though....in a planted tank they shouldn't cause much harm bioload wise.

Its pretty minimal, if you like doing calculations, think 5 snails = 1" of fish.

ok, so 5 snails = 1" of fish... but 5 snails of what size? The biggest MTS I've seen had a 1 inch shell.... I can imagine that half inchers are less (as it is with fish) and most MTS i see are about half an inch at most.

1"? are you sure it wasn't a singapore spiral?

5 snails of 8-10mm shell.
