Assassins-Dine Time

[Lupin]

Last night, I decided to grab several of my MTS and feed them to my assassin snails. I dropped all of them at once into the den and two assassins buried underneath appeared immediately and grabbed two at once.

There's another two still mating and the female didn't hesitate to crawl at a nearby MTS and attacked it while the male is still latching on it.:screwy:

Sixth assassin came into the scene...

...and grabbed the food of the fifth assassin. It gave up eventually and scooted off to find another after the fifth one refuses to budge.

The female who was mated earlier by the male, finished her first meal and went off to the fifth assassin's meal. She and her mate engaged the fifth into a tug-o-war.

It was rather frightening that the female is overpowering the fifth assassin and the fifth one eventually conceded defeat and scooted off to find another prey. It was eating a MTS similar in its size.

The 7th eating his own share by himself.

WOW! Don't you ever feed those guys Lupin? LMAO! Please tell me it wasn't the pretty purple MTS!

 

[Lupin]

I just fed about 3 purples but there are still plenty here.:uhoh:

 

[Hollygirl]

I wish I could find purples. Right now I'm hoping the dozen or so MTS msjinkzd sent me reproduce; my Assassins generally get bladder snails and TONS of the "donkey eared" variety pond snails.

Some people are hopeless. They complain about snails overrunning their tanks and now they seem to complain less so I wouldn't pester them to give those to me to feed to my assassins.:grinno:

 

[Redneck Woman]

Nice shots Lupin! Will they eat jello?

Nice shots Lupin! Will they eat jello?

I haven't tried that yet since I haven't done any snail jello lately but I'll see about that one.

I actually didn't order the MTS to be Assassin food, but rather a nice addition to help aerate the soil in the other tanks. Should there be an overabundance of MTS eventually, I can always use them as Assassin food. The only pond snails that are able to keep their numbers up in the Assassin tank are the "donkey ears". All the other pond snails I gather from the other three tanks.

Holly, I wasn't talking about you. It's the local hobbyists that I was talking about.
