Description: Assassin Snails (Clea helena) are one of the most useful animals in the aquarium hobby. They will obliterate unwanted pest snails and eliminate the need to use harsh, snail-killing chemicals in your aquarium. They are particularly adept at handling populations of pond snails, Malaysian trumpet snails, ramshorn snails, bladder snails, and more! My first Assassin Snails was purchased on E-Bay because I had an infestation of ramshorn snails in two tanks. I had tried out methods like chemicals......to no success!! It took about six months.......bt I can say that I don't have any ramshorn snails in those two tanks anymore!! As an added bonus, Assassin Snails are rather attractive in appearance. Due to their yellow and black/dark brown striping, they look fantastic on both light and dark-colored substrates. Their shells are spiral-shaped and taper down to a point at the end. Their bodies are an iridescent, almost translucent white color and consist of a long Proboscis (a sucking mouthpart, similar to a nose) that they use to drag themselves around, as well as two eyes underneath two tentacles. The Assassin Snails you will get are 3/4" to 1".......these are all young adults! Having good substrate is important with Assassin Snails, as they love to burrow in it; we recommend sand. As with all snails, these are very sensitive to copper, so we advise monitoring copper levels if tap water is used to fill the tank.

Assassin Snail Care Guidelines: Diet: Carnivorous. Voraciously eats other snails and will often eat dead fish. If there are not enough small snails in the aquarium, their diet can be supplemented with fish flakes, blood worms, and other meaty foods.Social Behavior: Attacks other snails, but otherwise peaceful.Origin: IndonesiaAverage Adult Size: 1 inchAverage Purchase Size: .75 - 1 inch Included is a 10-pack of Assassin Snails + 2 (DOA) Substitute.
