Assassin Snail Clea helena (formerly Anentome helena)

The Assassin Snail eats also other snails. That may help to keep a snail plague small. Attention: they cannot distinguish between good and bad snails! All in all an interesting enrichment for our hobby.

Nice sound effects for the digging in the gravel substrate.

Amazing. Dear, what do you think about the diet of Clea Helena snails , with snails from the garden. I have a lot of them in my lawn. I'm not kidding, I have a tank where I'm trying to grow Clea Helena. Thanks in advance.

I had some problems with planarias in the past. Does this snail eat planarias?

[@yaro4985]

can i have tjis snail in aquarium with ADA Amazonia new ?Or will it cause problems??

[@Kraviken]

It is now no longer named the same? But Clea helena instead? Please help me learn why?

[@zekky1000]

How big is their appetite? I kinda would like to add one and create a balance between newborn snails and the assassin snail, I don't want it to kill of all my other snails, just to create an equilibrium!

Does anyone knows if a yoyo botia (botia almorhae) eats Helena snails ? I have a fine sandbottem, so the Helena can hide under the sand (which he likes to do anyway)... . will the Clea Helena be safe for this kind of botia ? All advise is welcome

Cooles video. Besonderst die Soundeffeckte hast du gut hinbekommen! Hast du persönliche Erfahrungen ob die sich Schnecke auch an Babygarnelen vergreift? Bei mir sind damals keine Baby Cpo´s hochgekommen, könnte die Schnecke dafür ein Grund gewesen sein?

I keep Assassins in all my tanks. But I noticed that while they mau reduce the population of larger pond snails, you can still have a population explosion when the eggs hatch. So I also keep Loaches in all my tanks and notice no snail outbreak in any tank where I keep my Loaches. I think the Assassins need help with controlling a major outbreak. I have found that Assassins alone dont do the trick.

What do you buy when you have too many assassin snails in your aquarium?

[@Rackwizard1]

they dont breed that fast and are easy to sell

[@wowquests2478]

[@English_Lessons_Pre-Int_Interm]

Does it eat planarias?

[@moritzaquaristik]

Also ich habe ca. 50 und mehr davon in meinen 500 liter Becken mit Garnelen, Fischen usw. Zuerst hatte ich nur eine, nach ein paar Wochen 10, jetzt mehr als 50. Man bekommt keine Schnecke mehr zu sehen. Die helenas haben ihre Arbeit gut gemacht. Bei mir kommen sie jedoch nur nachts raus. VG Moritz :-)

I haven't seen any assassination. I thought it was an action movie.
