Assassin snails will not eat algae. I suggest cleaning your tank a lot and definitely doing a water change ASAP. Looks very dirty. Nerite snails will help with algae, but it will take a lot of time and a lot of snails to really make a dent in the algae. Assassin snails eat other snails, not algae.

Not quite right!
I'm breeding assasin snails for many years now. And they don't just eat other snails (roundshaped ones) but they do eat waste as well. And... algae! I can garantuee you that!
I'm even mentioning that they eat roundshaped snails. For snails with a similar shape like the assasins won't be eaten.

I guess, what you've heard is a general thing which people just copy. For those snails are known for eating other snails and that they just don't know that they also eat algae.
But don't worry.... no harm done... LOL!
I just wanted to put it right...


You have a nice day,
