Assassin snails are one of my favorite aquarium snails to keep. Not just for their ability to control a pest snail population either. We discuss assassin snare care, how to breed assassin snails and talk about some of the potential down sides to keeping them in your freshwater aquarium. Will assassin snails kill shrimp? I'll share with you my thoughts and findings.

They are NOT prolific breeders. You were lucky enough to get a male and a female Assassin. Plus it takes 6 months before their small clutch of eggs emerge from the substrate as tiny snails. My guess is this would have taken a very long time of incestuous behaviour to produce that many. Nice little money maker you ended up with.

Actually, just to clear something up, and to put it in more scientific terms, the tube sticking out of the top of their heads is called a siphon, and they do not eat with it. Rather, they "breath" through it (bring water across the gills) and sniff for prey with it, scanning back and fourth in search of their next meal. It also acts as a snorkel when they burry themselves in substrate. However, they do have another, different tubular apparatus they do eat with. This is called a retractile proboscis, which is a hollow muscular tube that can be moved around like a tiny elephant trunk. The proboscis shoots out of it's mouth, engorged with blood when it's hungry... sort of like a mouth boner I guess. Anyhow at the tip, the proboscis is equipped with yet another retractable apparatus! This time, it's much smaller and more like a tongue. A scraping tongue, with tiny teeth (denticles) on it. This is called the radula. So, the Assassin Snail literally licks it's prey to death with a rasping toothed tongue shooting out of the tip a big fat mouth boner, rending and slurping up flesh and guts from it's victim, lick by lick. Bizarre, fascinating, and grotesque.

Agreed I have exact same problem. I had a combination of maybe 300-500 ramshorn and pest snails, they were everywhere! Bought four assassin snails. Fast forward 5 months the original snails is virtually zero, every now and then I see a couple of them. But instead I have 100s of assassin snails. Yes they breed slower than the other snails but in the end I still have a large snail problem :(

Assassin snails can, and will take down larger snails. Nerites, mysteries, etc. I had three mystery snails, and about 30+ ramshorns. 10 assassins(we though we only had four--I have sand substrate, and they like to burrow) wiped out all the ramshorns, and then ganged up on the three mystery snails. I've never seen assassins going for fish. If your fish dies, and settles, they'll eat it. I lost 15-20 ghost shrimp to assassin snails. You wanna make sure you have feeder snails, or protein feed to keep shrimp with them. They're predator snails, carnivorous. They actively hunt for protein. There's no real way to tell which are male, or female. You'll see one or two on the side of one. They're having sex, or trying to have sex. I've noticed my males are usually smaller, and the female is usually larger. That's not how they are, it's just I always see smaller males going after larger females to procreate. They'll breed between 75-82 degrees, and well fed. If there's not enough protein for more, they'll stop breeding.

100%. Thought I removed all my assassins from a 10g nano tank. Put in a Nerite. Inside of 5 min I saw two yellow shells pop out. They went right for the nerite. I ended up pulling the assassins out and moving them to my 40g. Also have seen them take down ghost shrimps as well.

Or, just use the Chemical Treatment on the Plants that I buy before placing them into a Plant Quarantine Tank. I am planning on setting up a Plant Quarantine Tank and will get at least one Assassin Snail for that tank. To me, this is being pro-active. Thanks again.

They seem to help reduce the numbers, but you need a lot of Assassins to do any good as the Ram's Horn breed faster than they can suck 'em outta the shell. And I don't know if they want to finish off all their source of food.

I've held assassins for ages and can confirm a few things: They DO NOT attack fish. They do clean up dead fish real quick like. Which is good because that prevents ammonia spikes if a fish dies in a corner somewhere and goes unnoticed. They DO NOT attack shrimp. I've held cherry shrimp with them for ages and I've seen shrimp sit on top of both the submerged and mobile snails and the snails did not do anything. They DO NOT attack each other. I've spent a week observing after the other snails where verified gone and they all just went around and snacked on whatever else they could find. I've seen many ambush ready submerged snails be walked over by other assassins and there was no attack. What do they eat if there is no prey? Mostly bottom feeder wafers and fish flake. They really make a beeline for that. I don't think they eat algae, but they might eat some dead plant matter as I've seen them munch on dead leaves a bunch of times and they do gather up there if there's no other food available. They also came out for stuff like blanched zucchini or cucumber. For me, the favorite place to lay eggs seems to have been the glass, which was a bit of a pain since I couldn't easily clean those spots if I wanted to keep the eggs. They are definitely awesome and pretty, but as mentioned do not consider them a cleaner like a nerite. They are fully part of the bioload.

I started off with one, increased it to four. One died and set off an ammonia bomb, lost two fish in the same day - my plecco and my puffer. I have two assassins left. One is moving around, the other has had its radula, the tongue-like extension, not the front siphon, sticking out for hours. Not smelling of ammonia, but trying to figure out if it’s alive or dead.

It has been my experience that the assassin snails cohabitate with common pond snails and don’t do a fantastic job of controlling them. When they do breed you will have hundreds.

The snails you kindly gifted me did an awesome job of clearing a 55 gallon of hundreds of pest snails! Highly recommend them and I found that missing sock in their tank!

How many Snail Assassins did you use to clear a 55gal?

I just put two in my tank for my pond snail infestation. Should I be worried about them breeding too much? I have a ten gallon filled with snails that have been devouring my plants :(

I would get assassin snails but they are illegal in Australia due to not being native.

I had 2. One was dead after the 1st month, the survivor annihilated every snail in my 50 gallon tank over the following month. It’s been about a year and he or she is still alive, not sure what she’s eating.

They can double as detritivores if no snails are available. That's what happened with me too (my tank is practically the same size of yours).

I have heard that these snails can and will hunt in packs to take down a bigger snail. I love snails. I have all sorts. I am wanting to breed these snails to bring to my local pet store for credit. I do the same with my guppy kulls, and my mystery snails. It pays for all my others fishes foods. I get a lot of nice yummy live foods for them. Like BB shrimp, black worms, white worms, roches.

It could take time for the assassin snails to do their job. They also will burrow into the substrate. Just because you don’t see them doesn’t mean they aren’t working. If you have a ton of pest snails it could take weeks or months for them to really chow down the entire population
