The Assassin Snail has one of the best common names of all invertebrates. They are a common snail throughout their range in southeast Asia, most commonly exported from Malaysia, Indonesia and Sumatra. They are generally found in the soft sand and muddy substrates of clean lakes, ponds, and slow rivers. This is a small snail, usually staying under an inch long and can live for 3-5 years. They are voracious predators of other snails, focusing on snails smaller than themselves prefering ones 1/4 its own size once a day. However, their diet is not limited to snails and they can also be effective at removing nuisance Planaria in your tanks. Once this source of food is depleted, they will turn to other foods. They will happily eat other meaty foods you put into the tank, like pellet and flake foods, even detritus and algae. If your aquarium is housing tropical freshwater fish, these snails should pose no problem for you.

ACCLIMATION: Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. For new aquariums, adding new fish slowly helps to properly develop the nitrogen cycle, which creates a safe environment for your aquatic pets. A bacteria booster may also help develop a new aquarium for your new fish. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried, and frozen food, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller, unfiltered aquariums.
