MTS will burrow but when they need to come up to the surface to feed they will be eaten for sure...how ironic...

but no other snails will survive.

I think my clowns must be vegetarian....I had snails ocme in on a plant - the tank was overrun ith them, the clowns ignore them......I crush daily, (The Angel fish and Rainbows queue up for them once they are crushed!)and when I water change the funnell is teeming as is the substrate, the mopani, the plant leaves.....!
