Well I was shocked today as I was leaving for work to see a pretty large sized Assassin Snail, about 1cm!!! I have not purchased an Assassin Snail.
This is in my 6.6G Fire Red shrimp tank. I am more than a little bit surprised.
On one hand I was going to purchase a couple to eat a few MTS snails, but not for THAT tank. It has my Grandaddy Ramshorn Snails.
What is so strange is how big it is, and how long was it in there and exactly what they will eat?
I had noticed a few/several, maybe 5 dead snail shells, but occasionally that can happen, and figured they had just settled in one corner.
I hadn't bought any Assassin Snails yet as I hadn't got to the finding about them specifically... if they eat baby shrimp, how many snails and how often they eat them, do they eat MTS, large ones, small ones?
I am not sure if i should have it in any tank!
Help!
It is so beautiful! But deadly, and I love my Red and Blue Ramshorn snails!
This guy maybe came like a grain of sand, in with the Fire Red Shrimp. I don't really know how else...
