Well a while ago I picked up ONE assassin to help cull my ram and pond situation. It wasn't horrible buy annoying enough. Well I know its not all from one assassin snail but I have not seen one pest snail in about 2 weeks plus. My assassin recently gave birth and passed but the eggs just hatched so its not th em.
Honestly its so weird.
I actually liked the pests because I was starting a colony for my pea puffers. I had a decent starting of ponds in my puffer tank but even those are gone. Not even eggs!

Anyone know what can cause a quick snail die off?

Anything change, chemistry wise, in the tank? In my planted tank I think the calcium was low and their numbers stayed low despite the abundant eggs sacs present. I would see a lot of empty shells.

I know calcium was an issue. Some of their shells stated turning white. Only the pond though.
I just got a wonder she'll since cuttle bone did nothing. The shell is nice.

The trumpet snails seem more than fine. I may need to get some pond snails back from my buddy. I gave him one and they come in his tank lol.

I did like my ram horn though so I may have to get another one
