[myswtsins]

they're big slobs about it and sometimes place them on the front glass panel...

Wow this thread blew up! lol i havent even checked it...So i have been squishing these snails for a week now as i see them on the glass....I have a cucumber in the tank right now and theres maybe 5-6 small snails that are munching on it...The snails seem to gather on the glass more than anywhere else..

I did purchase 5 assasins snails, they're pretty cool to watch and they seem to leave the shrimp alone ...If anything the shrimp seem to like to play on top of their shells...But i havent seen the assassin snails eating the pond snails yet.

be careful. If you fall in love with the assassin snails, you may end up deciding to breed pest snails to feed to your assassins

...or you could end up breeding your assassins. I went from 5 to 50+ in a month before.

holy backfire, batman!

 

[meximan]

Lol no real way to prevent that is there

holy backfire, batman![/QU Hahaha It was funny cause I originally wanted malaysian trumpets, my sister asked the fish guy for "cone shaped" snails to aerate the sand substrate, and somehow the guy thought I wanted Assassins...five bucks each too. I just accepted them. Granted they did kill my one malaysian snail, but they are nice looking at least.

Check Petco and PetSmart. They sometimes have MTS, and the most expensive I've seen is literally one penny apiece.

Set out a lettuce leaf overnight. In the morning the snails will be on the lettuce leaf and you can take the leaf out.
