Is there such a thing?
Reason I ask, most of my tanks had Malaysian trumpet snails for years. I didn't mind them as they gave me good indication as to if I was feeding too much or not.
2-3yrs ago while I was visiting a relatively new LFS, I noticed they had assassin snails for sale. I figured I'd try a few. I put 3-4 in each of my tanks. As time went on, ALL of the Malaysian trumpets disappeared. I haven't seen a live one in 2yrs. None of the assassins made it in my oscar tank as he gobbles them. For what ever reason, In my heavily planted 55, after the few assassins consumed all the MTS, which was a crap ton of them, the assassins disappeared as well. I do have bristle nose plecos in this tank that pick off any scraps, so I figure that may have starved them out.
My 29 gal that I moved into a 55 has a bunch of assassins still. I was just curious if it's possible to keep other snails with them.
