Instructions
Check the pH of the water. The MTS prefer hard water between 6.5 to 7.0. Adjust the pH factor of the water accordingly. Add baking soda, epsom salt and/or marine salt to attain the proper pH balance. The MTS require in hard water to keep their shells hard.
Place the MTS in an aquarium with water temperature suitable for a fish. These small snails adapt to any water temperature that will accommodate a fish. They prefer water between 68 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit.
Allow the MTS to search out and eat dead plant and fish matter accumulated at the bottom of the tank along with algae.
Avoid placing medication or food in the aquarium that contains copper. Copper is poisonous to Malaysian trumpet snails.
