Assassin Snails

Assassin snails are one of the most effective ways to remove pest snails in a small aquarium. They stay small in size and breed rather slowly making it easy to control their population. Assassin snails are pretty hardy which make them a great addition to almost all conditions. 

The assassin snails will be near adult size which is usually around 1/4 of an inch.

Main Benefits:

• Great way to remove unwanted snails in an aquarium
• Known to eat shrimp on rare occasions 
• Burrow into the substrate and help prevent gas buildups 
• Hardy so they can adjust to most water parameters 

When Receiving Snails: 

1. Place the snails in a corner of the tank and make a mental note where they were place
2. Watch the snails over 7 days, if they do not move remove them from the aquarium
3. Give the snails a smell and if they stink, then they are dead
4. If they do not smell, add them back to the aquarium and give it another 3 days
5. It is common for snails to burrow into the substrate and disappear from sight

Please note: During shipping, snails sometimes go into a hibernation-like state and may not become fully active for up to a week once acclimated to your aquarium.
