I vote Trumpet Snail! They are the best for building a strong ecosystem and healthy tank. Stirring up the substrate and cleaning everything better than anyone. I also learned once, if you have a problem and there is a sudden spike in bad water conditions, they will start climbing toward the surface. Even if the lights are on. That is a GREAT warning system for when you need to know something is wrong.
I think I have to vote for the Trumpet Snail. I really don't like seeing snails, especially big ones, gliding around in my tank. Plus I like the idea that they stir up the substrate.
@@jiggaman727 mine would climb up onto some floating plants or a leaf they just chomped off my anubias 😢 hop on that, and then surf to the bottom of the tank. Climb back up and do it again for hours 😂
I have them both, my one momma Mystery snail is about 2" now, she is huge, and I love watching her travel around. the trumpets are in all tanks now and do their job on the substrate and algae. love them both..
I raise Gold Inca Mystery Snails. I could not love them more. I also keep rabbit snails (my 2nd favorite snails) that have gotten HUGE. I keep nerites, and ramshorn snails, too. Rabbit snails are livebearers! Incredible watching them give birth. Mystery snails are absolutely amazing.
I like the entertainment of a mystery snail. They are hilarious! Plus like you said, it's much easier to control population by removing egg clutches. You gave us a lot of good information, talking about trumpet snails eating uneaten fish food, etc. I wish you would have mentioned that mystery snails are much bigger and need to be fed regularly. Many people buy them from pet stores to be a cleaner and wonder why they die after the algae is gone :( I feed mine blanched spinach and zucchini, canned unsalted green beans, algae and bottom feeder pellets.
@@debnazario7226 I use little salad /appetizer forks because the weight keeps it on the tank bottom and I never use salad forks in the kitchen anyways. I've also used bamboo skewers but they float, so you have to shove them into the gravel to anchor them.

I have both along with blader snails and ramshorn snails I love keeping all of then. I wish I could find rabbit and nerite snails as well. They do a good job and are fascinating to watch.
I like the Trumpet snails. I have sand and recently had some rotten egg smell and cyano, even with only inch deep sand. I added trumpets and they helped alot. I replaced my Mysteries with Ramshorns also. I think they clean better. My wife loved the mysteruys snails though. I also have yellow rabbit snails in my bigger tank .. got them yesterday and they are so cool!!
Hello, My favorite snail is the Mystery Snail. I saw on Alex Williamson's TH-cam channel "The Secret History Living in Your Aquarium" that his heater cracked and electrocuted a tank full of shrimp and fish. He has an excellent tip that prior to servicing your aquarium unplug all electrical components.
@@dantreuthart9146 I've heard recommendations about using a controller for heaters, so if the thermostat craps out, it won't overheat & cook fish. There's gotta be a way to sense voltage in an aquarium, cut the power, & notify you.
@@multipletanksyndrome Underwriters Laboratories states that GFCIs cut the current when leakage is between 4 to 6 milliamps referenced in UL 943, Standard for Safety for GroundFault Circuit-Interrupters and cross referenced in Section 210.8 of the NEC.

Mystery snails all the way!! They are my favorite!!! I had two and I gave them their own 10 gallon tank to themselves. Nothing else but driftwood, live plants, and sand!! They lived over 3 yrs and I enjoyed them soooo much!! My golden mystery snail was half the size of my palm. I got him with my ivory mystery snail, named White Shadow, at the same time at PetSmart. I have a feeling my golden snail named Turbo, might have had a giant gene in him!! He was ginormous!!! They were my guys!! Never any eggs above the water line, though. So much enjoyment and lots of blanched spinach eating!! Miss my snails!! I don’t have any snails right now. Thank you for the comparison!! I vote with Joanna!!
Although I appreciate the attributes that both have to offer for Several reasons I'm going to have to go with Team mystery snail. 1)The ability to control their breeding is much easier. 2) they're more visible and their colors can be quite beautiful ( including their foot 😎) 3) Trumpet snails cannot ParaSnail like Mystery Snails 🥰😀😘 Mystery 🐌 Snails can do for Free what I would have to pay to do: Jump from an Aerial item such a wall or airplane.."WEEEEE!"😎
I’ve got both in the same tank. I enjoy watching Speedy the mystery snail moving all about lol 😆 the MTS are plentiful and they are out whether lights are on or not. They are not bashful lol 😂
My trumpet snails were completely free because they hitch hiked in with a plant or two (years ago). I was a bit freaked out at first, but now I don't mind them. They do no harm, but there sure are a lot of babies at times. I can't cut back on my feeding right now because I have a relatively young Betta in that tank, and I feel like she needs to eat more often as the toddler she is. I give her food a couple times a day. There are also furcata rainbows in there, and they are frantic eaters, so I feed them first. There are gobs of tiny trumpets in the tank now. Their population waxes and wanes, but i bet there are over a thousand in the substrate! I prefer the trumpets. I did buy four nerites recently, and they've all but destroyed the algae so I'm going to get them some algae wafers. I just ramble on. LOL. Have a great week!
I have a bunchof rabbit snails. Started out with 5 random adults. They have produced at least 12 babies! Though did dispose of a clutch of mystery snail eggs last water change.
I got my first mystery snail cos I thought he would clean my tank for me. He definitely did not do that. But holy cow it’s fun to watch my little snail buddy explore the tank with his derpy little tentacle face. He brings so much character to my tank and I’m totally team mystery snail all the way.
Trumpet snails can work as hard as a huge snail, I saw in my eyes that these trumpets are helping each other! One dad snail got stuck and lost his foot and guess what, the children reunited with the injured snail! And the mama Snail got sad and keeps retracting inside! What a lovely feeling hard working crew! The biggest child went over the dad and hid itself inside the dad back! Idk what's happening now help.
I love having snails in all my tanks. Even the trumpet snails,I just had to add a assassin snail in to keep the trumpet snails population under control.
Trumpet snails are natural indicator for a lot of things, as you said when you overfeed there will be too much snails, so you should cut off a bit your feeding, cause fish don't eat all of it, but secondly when there's a problem with oxygen or just bad water quality, they will go up even at the middle of a day- you should make water change because later it can harm your fish. I have trumpet snails in all my 4 tanks, i think i maintain my tanks properly so you rarely see a lot of them.
I have a mystery snail and an elephant snail in one of my Betta tanks. I do not have an algae problem at all the mystery snail sees to that. In fact I have to add wafers so bot snails have food. The elephant snail eats mostly everything else. It spends it's day cleaning gravel.
I think I would have to go with trumpet snails they truly are bulletproof you can even put them with African cichlids and I have heard of people even putting copper in the tank removing the copper and snails come back out love those guys
Good morning, I added MS's ( one each) to my tanks, loved watching them, sadly, I had three die, one last night within two weeks ( parameters good) ...I might get more, would love a fuschia and purple MS
Mts are insane, I’m going to get apples soon but I have mts snails, they are insane at cleaning and they literally vacuum up and deep clean the tank, I could never get dirty water when I water change my tank, it’s always clean!
I haven’t owned trumpet but I love my mystery snails! So fun to watch and so colorful. I wonder if trumpet should be avoided with a dirted tank...could the substrate be turned up so much by them that the dirt gets released from the sand cap? 🤔
Can you do another “color” video of fish but do a Transparent category? I’ve been thinking of trying to do an ALL clear/see through fish and invert tank but I’m not sure if it would work!
Both for me as well however, for the jobs they do, I keep 3-4 Mystery and let the Trumpets regulate their own population. Trumpets are my red wiggler worms in the aquarium 👍
I'm good with alot of baby malaysian trumpet snails there good for money if you sell the babies Edit: I GOT A HEART FROM PRIME TIME AQUATICS LET'S GOOOO
I love mystery snails, they have so much personality, but they don't seem to like my tanks and die within a few months...makes me sad. Trumpets and nerite snails do well for me.
Love the colors of mystery snails but can't seem to keep them alive. I'm not one who complains about pest snails as I have them in most my tanks and they keep tanks spotless..they can breed all they want.
I can't seem to keep mystery snails for very long. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. they'll last a couple of months but as time goes by their shells get thinner and thinner. I've had better success with nerite snails. And of course I can't get rid of the pong snails unless I intentionally put Cichlids in the tanks.
why did my round yellow and white round shell mystery snails have about 50 babies that have long cone shells like malaysian trumpets? i dont understand
My understanding of Mystery Snails is they are not as good in a cleaning crew. They may eat Algea but not fecal matter from fish. They are also horrible drivers! I witnessed our Mystery Snail Goldy, do a hit and run over an Albino Cory! She paraglided down on top of the poor thing and took her sweet time getting off of the struggling fish! Snail rage is real!
mystery snails all day. i have millions of these stupid trumpet snails in my mbuna tank for 3 reasons. i added a few 6 months ago but they multiplied like crazy feeding on the algae wafers my pleco gets. now i am overrun with these ugly things. i like them in my tanks with a light stock where they dont overpopulate tho. my pair of mysteries also live with said mbuna and they never bred once [ even if they did i wouldnt mind that much ]. i prefer ramshorns, nerites and giant ramshorns way more than trumpets too. rabbit snails are a good alternative tho
I love mystery snails. They win for me on every one of these categories, except cost! These are a great comparison between two well contrasting snails. For a bit of a closer comparison, the rabbit snail is a good alternative. Has that conical shape but is larger and breeds more slowly. Not as easy to snag the clutch like a mystery snail, but it's usually only a clutch of one. Still very manageable!

I think I have to vote for the Trumpet Snail. I really don't like seeing snails, especially big ones, gliding around in my tank. Plus I like the idea that they stir up the substrate.
parasnailing might be one of my favorite things to watch in my tank. I love when they just climb to the top and just yeet themselves to the ground.
I love my massive Japanese and American trap door snails there beautiful and extremely harmless to a planted aquarium.

@@debnazario7226 I use little salad /appetizer forks because the weight keeps it on the tank bottom and I never use salad forks in the kitchen anyways. I've also used bamboo skewers but they float, so you have to shove them into the gravel to anchor them.
I’ve never had any luck feeding zucchini for some reason. Tried multiple times and they never touch it.
@@TheNickkirk Try cooking the zucchini. Cooking breaks it down and makes it soft and easy for them to eat it.
@@tree.65 I have. Blanched and even close to fully cooked. None of my mystery’s or otos would touch it. I’ll likely try again eventually just crazy to me they didn’t nibble at all leaving it in the the tank overnight.

Can you handfeed an MTS a large piece of flake food? Nope! You can with mystery snails and it's adorable! ❤
Definitely mystery snails for me. Trumpet snails to me are pests lol. But cant have either though due to loaches
Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate your videos. My youngest son and I have mystery snails, this is our 6th clutch in 3 months.
I like them both, and I like ramshorn snails also.
They are my 3 fav snails.
👍❤👍

I bought my Malaysian trumpet snails from Flip Aquatics a couple of years ago. Great customer service and good snails.
Any snail for me. They're all awesome
I have both... and also ramshorns. But I must admit, I'm a Mystery snail fan! 🐌
The trumpet snail is alright but I like the Tuba snail!😂😂😂
Happy Monday, the colourfulness of mystery snails gets my vote 🥇
This was very informative. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos.
Thank you!
My mystery snail acts like an octopus, wrapping itself around food, but sometimes it gets mugged by Cory.
Didn't know Cory was hanging around mugging aquatic creatures. smh.
I love them both! Eager to be able to afford to get some! Shipping is prohibitive, right now.😢

I love my mystery snails! Recently added a new plant thought I did a good job rinsing it now I have a colony of pond snails 😭.
Guess you’ll need some pea puffers. Haha

My mystery snail floats or sails over my Java moss. The Cory catfishes are the ones who insist on doing their own aquascaping.

Oh, and Happy Monday!!
Good question - ya, probably!
Great Snail INFO !!!!!! Thanks Guys
Thank you!
Can you do another “color” video of fish but do a Transparent category?
I’ve been thinking of trying to do an ALL clear/see through fish and invert tank but I’m not sure if it would work!
I am also a Trumpet fan. I feel like they can handle wider range especially temperature.
My blue mystery snail is amazing and huge, and fast:)
Both for me as well however, for the jobs they do, I keep 3-4 Mystery and let the Trumpets regulate their own population. Trumpets are my red wiggler worms in the aquarium 👍
I go for the Mystery snail.
I love the Malaysian trumpet 🐌🎺
I have had both: much prefer Mystery snails
What about doing a thing on assassin snails care guide
You said turn the lights on, they go away. Not here! The moment, any kind of food appears in my tank, the substrate Is physically MOVING
That’s always fun!
I’m wondering if there’s a good number to have in a 10 gallon tank. Could you please send your recommendations for each?
Two would work ok
Happy Monday
Spixi snail for me.
I'm good with alot of baby malaysian trumpet snails there good for money if you sell the babies
Edit: I GOT A HEART FROM PRIME TIME AQUATICS LET'S GOOOO
Trumpet snail 👍
I prefer nerite snails. Not as big but I think they are better algee eaters. Plus they come in a lot of different colors too
Mystery snail all the way for me!!
Can you add trumpets to a 20 long similis shell dweller tank
It’s usually hit or miss, but it’s probably the best snail to try.
I thought trumphet snails were cool so I got 3 that was a mistake now I got hundreds.
That can happen. 😀
I have mystery and nerite snails. Nerite are prettier but mystery eats more algae and cleans more plants.
I love mystery snails, they have so much personality, but they don't seem to like my tanks and die within a few months...makes me sad. Trumpets and nerite snails do well for me.
I'm holding out for trombone snails
I have many,too many. I feed my tetras and khouli's every other day.
Are snails better algae eatters than otocinclus ?
They’re both pretty good.
Love the colors of mystery snails but can't seem to keep them alive. I'm not one who complains about pest snails as I have them in most my tanks and they keep tanks spotless..they can breed all they want.
I had a bad black hair algae problem until I put rams horn snails in. Now I have no black hair algae but I have a million snails Lol.
Too funny! That can happen. 😀
Flip Aquatics is awesome!
Malaysian Trumpet Snails creep me out. Especially when they are in high numbers.
Is it ok to have a snail in a non live plant tank?
Sure
I can't seem to keep mystery snails for very long. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. they'll last a couple of months but as time goes by their shells get thinner and thinner.
I've had better success with nerite snails. And of course I can't get rid of the pong snails unless I intentionally put Cichlids in the tanks.
Sounds like your pH is waaaay too low for mystery snails
@@nothingcanstopnoodles Thanks, sounds like I need to raise my PH
Check kh as well?
Good Morning.
So what snail is best for green hair algae?
Ramshorn snails. Guaranteed that will munch those eyesore GHA for ya
@@aldentumanut7506 I have a ton. They don't touch GHA
not a snail but amano shrimp are a solid choice
why did my round yellow and white round shell mystery snails have about 50 babies that have long cone shells like malaysian trumpets? i dont understand
Unless you saw the huge egg clutch somewhere just outside of the water those could actually be trumpet snails?
@@PrimeTimeAquaticsbut if that's the case, how on earth would they get there? I didn't see an egg clutch anywhere
I wish there was an option. Too many trumpet snails....
My MTS don't burrow into my sand. Any idea why?
They do so more with higher flow?
Can they survive in same tank together? Anyone know?
Sure
Mystery snails are too big in my aquariums
Team Mystery here!
Me too!
If you really want to get rid of Trumpet snails you need to boil your substrate and decor.
Why not both?
Heck ya!
Do you think both of these snails would coexist in the same system? Or do you think the mystery snails would outcompete the trumpets?
They do ok together in our tanks. :-)
Once you go snail you never go back 🤣

Do you get a choice about trumpet snails? They come free with plants.
They sure do!
Hello
POV: you live in Maine and can’t even own snails 😡😭
I love mystery snails. They win for me on every one of these categories, except cost!
These are a great comparison between two well contrasting snails. For a bit of a closer comparison, the rabbit snail is a good alternative. Has that conical shape but is larger and breeds more slowly. Not as easy to snag the clutch like a mystery snail, but it's usually only a clutch of one. Still very manageable!
They are great!
malaysia trumpet snail eat poop ??
No, but they stir up the substrate, which makes it smaller and easier for filters to remove.
I am team snail! #iamteamsnail
Never ever, EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER trumpet snails! I must have the only diurnal MTS on the planet.
Too funny
Is that a Russian Flag inspired t-shirt on you?
Nope - we have shirts in many different styles and colors.
