I have a breeding tank of red cherry shrimp/celestial pearl danios/black worms. I got some hitchhiker snails on a few plants and they are breeding like mad! Would a few assassin snails be safe in there or would they snack on my worms and/or shrimp/fish young?
Assassin snails safe with live blackworms and red cherry shrimp?

AFAIK both should be safe. Shrimp attacks can happen but are rare...as for the blackworms, I'm not quite sure but they can get buried in the substrate a bit more easily.

The worms will be lunch but will out breed what the assassins can eat or get deep enough in the substrate the assassins won't find them.
As far as shrimp go I have kept them for years with shrimp no problems any attacks are extremely rare and again the shrimp will out breed what the assassins might eat and I mean might with a large grain of salt.
Now fish are no worries unless they are dead or dying and are an easy grab, but eggs maybe a different story... I have not run that experiment yet.
