Malaysian Trumpet Snails???

[abraham]

I had a freshwater tank that I turned into a saltwater tank. I had Malaysian Trumpet Snails in the tank and thought that I had removed all of them. Apparently I didn't. I've found a few small ones still alive and moving around in the tank. I'm concerned that if I miss one or more of these guys that they'll become a problem to my clams.

Anyone ever had any dealings with these guys in saltwater? Everything I've found says that they are freshwater only. What gives???

I wouldn't think they would last too long in saltwater. I wouldn't worry about it.

Shouldn't last too terribly long in a marine environment.

My friend did the same thing he just started pouring salt into his freshwater tank which had tons of trumpets and a couple months later all the trumpets were still going stong and even breeding for that matter. As far as harming anything trumpets are relativly harmless I would think mainly burrow and eat crud. have been thinking about adapting some myself to a tank and seeing what happens longterm, might be cheaper then Nassarius
