Problem with assassin snails.

[CoryCats101]

I have had about 5 assassin snails in my 12 gallon tank. It is extremely healthy. Despite this I have had (what I think) to be some deaths. This seriously worries me, so if you have ANY questions about the state of my tank (questions, pictures, etc) then ask away. I have been keeping fish for about 8 months now, and currently have 3 tanks, but I am relatively new to keeping snails. I got the assassins to keep my MTS, and pond snail population stable. Thanks Guys!

Like a young praying mantis the assassin snail sits in extreme patience until his prey approaches. Then like a hidden dragon he strikes with great intensity. The Malaysian trumpet snail was none the wiser to what happened.

Lol. They seemed to be dead at some point, but that subsided I guess.
