does anyone have malasian trumpet snails they would like to give away to a good home or sell at a cheep price?

I can send you 10 for 5.50, (that's the cost of shipping with a well insulated styrofoam box) They multiply pretty fast. Just let me know.

Almost any fish shop has these things. They aren't for sale, they are simply in the tanks, considered as pest snails. If you are buying some fish from them they would probably throw in a few MTS for free.

My almost-local shop would give them to me for free, but I really haven't decided if I want them or not! If I get a sand-bottomed tank they will be pretty much necessary, but for gravel they don't seem to be necessary.

Depends on the type of fish you have. Many cichlids will move sand around. My shellies and N. Brichardi keep the tank pretty much airrated.

Sorry I didn't answer sooner, I wasn't checking this forum!

The fish is a Hillstream Loach - specifically a Beaufortia kweichowensis. It's only about 2.5" long. I got a picture of it sitting on a leaf in my tank. There are more pictures here:
