I've read that you must have a permit to do inter-state shipping of some aquatic snails - does this include Malaysian Trumpets (Melanoides tuberculata)?
Thanks!

They do a good job stirring the substrate, and do not eat live plants. They are also not hermaphrodites - they have separate sexes (male and female), but females can reproduce via parthenogenesis (self-cloning), which is why they can reproduce so fast. They will however only reproduce as fast as their diet would let them - unless you're leaving a bunch of food in the tank for them to munch on, they're not going to be a problem.

Go to www.franksaquarium.com . I bought some from him a few years back, he would be able to let you know.
They are the best and most beneficial freshwater snail I have ever come across, they do wonders for a planted tank.

Animal Plant and Health Inspection Services are the guys working with Customs on letting stuff into the country, so ask them:

I would get one, those Trumpet Snails are bloody noisy and would attract attention.
