Only fauna that seems to be affected (that I can tell) is malaysian trumpet snails. After 3 seperate EM treatments, my MTS population doesn't exist anymore. Not that I really mind .
That's VERY good the hear. I have no MTS, but tons of pond snails and small trap door snails. Also have some nerites. Will try to relocate as many of those to the qt tank as possible.

Glad to hear some of them are starting to eat again

Thanks! I will not hestitate to does Maracyn tonight then if there are more deaths.
