Assassin Snail Hunting down, Killing, Eating another snail

I just got a batch of assassin snails in (Thanks Bob) - and I put them in the tank - wow they went right to work hunting, killing, and eating other snails. Soon I will have my tanks rid of all those pesty snails....

I just witnessed my Assassin hoiking a snail off the glass this afternoon. It was a suckfest!

@jonathanstafford Isn't that cool. I just love watching them hunt the snails down.

Shame I haven't got an infestation anymore. My assassins were too efficient. Still

, could get some more I suppose.

How exciting! We made the mistake of putting an algae wafer in our tank last year sometime and apparently it contained snail eggs or something so we have an infestation of little snails all over the tank. Last week, my husband purchased 3 assassins to work on the problem. I haven't seen any action yet - I'm probably not patient enough to sit there and wait and watch, but I'm sure they're working away. It was very cool to see one in action - thanks for posting!

I had no idea that Assassin Snails were legal as pets. Thank you for the interesting video.
