Best ways to increase MTS population?

[user_name]

I just got some awesome malaysian trumpet snails from a seller on here, and was wondering how I could best increase their population. I currently have 60ish in a 125g with driftwood, live plants, some danios, a JD, and pool filter sand substrate. What foods do these guys prefer?

feed them you will have 1000's in no time

They eat discarded waste, such as uneaten foods etc. The best way to increase your count is patience!

Ah, looks like I'll just have to keep my normal routine then. I was hoping to get something for my assassain's to play with, looks like I'll just have to wait a little longer.

Lots of food, algae wafers, spinach, cukes, zukes and have a calcium source like cuttlebone in there for their shells.

Yep, cuttlebone and spinach should do the trick

Add cuttlebone and toss in some zucchini, cucumber, or algae wafers once in a while. I did an experiment last year to see how fast they reproduce. I started with around 30 and a month later there was over 500 (I stopped counting after that).
