I always liked having these little snails. I was going to get some for the 10 gallon planted. My only concern is I didn't intend for it to end up planted, so I'm still using the medium sized gravel as substrate. A few of the plants are pretty well rooted by now, but the newer ones are still a bit loose. Furthermore, the hairgrass I got was of poor quality. After 100% initial dieoff, I have a few little patches springing up. The roots of that are definitely not established, and I find myself replanting 2 or 3 of the really small clumps every day. You think the MTS would make matters worse? or should I wait until the plants I have are established? Or should I wait until I have all the plants I want established before getting the snails?
