Ive just been reading the profile on AA on assassin snails, and it says they dont eat shrimp, it also states theyre safe with nerites.
While at a lfs I was looking at horned nerites the other day, would they be safe with these as the horned nerites only average 1/4 inch as an adult.

So my questions are:
Are horned nerites safe with assassins?
Do horned nerites eat plants?

Actually, it IS possible for an assassin snail to kill a shrimp. Hopefully someone else will confirm that, but I do believe they can. I've also read and heard that they can kill regular nerite snails, it's just very very uncommon. Horned nerites do NOT eat plants :)
 
That is a fact, of the shrimp is not healthy or busy and not paying attention they might get killed.
