    I believe that was what I had a few months ago and I HATED them ... all they did was breed and I was very happy when I restarted my tank to get rid of those pests.. of course they could have been another trumpet snail but still I would rather not risk it

    If you hated them for their breeding habits, then you will despise mystery snails. It will leave little egg sacs all over your tank. If you want a snail that absolutely will not breed, check out nerite snails. Very nice coloring and they cannot be bred in freshwater.

    But mystery snails reproduce sexually so with only one I would not have to worry about babies ... at least if I remember correctly

    that is very true. but remember a few things. one....there are no true male and female. and how many pet stores keep just one mystery snail in the tank? the odds of the one you pick out of the tank are high that will lay eggs the evening that you add it to the tank. i've had it happen to me and i have seen it happen to others. but, it's your tank.

    Hmm ... You have given me a lot to think about ... Especially since I was iffy about even adding a snail ... Maybe if I decide on a snail I can find a tank in the store with only one ...
