He's wearing his victims' shells as a trophy!

(I have zero experience with assassin snails, just couldn't pass it up)

You might want to get a few more assassins. From what I've read they only eat about 1 snail a day. It took 5 of them to have a noticeable impact on the population in my 29g

Well i also have a striped nerite and a mystery snail i didnt want ti get too many of them because i heard that theyll gang up and kill a larger snail.

I also feed my fish in that tank blood worms do u think that theyll ignore the baby snails and go for the worms first?

You have malaysian trumpets, which are actually beneficial... i have a colony of easily 100+ in my 55g angel tank and intentionally overfed. For a bit 2 get numbers up... i started with 9...

Kulih loaches will kill and eat snails, but they may eat the assassin snails too.

I had 4 kuhlis in a snail infested tank and they didnt touch a snail, now i have 8 and still none eating snails... yoyo and botia loaches are the top snail eaters.

Someone else told me that in another thread. I guess they hint do very much if anything.

Because they don't eat them lol period. People generally put loaches in one category as snail eaters which is incorrect because only a select bunch do
