Assassin Snails

spacecat9 · 10-30-2012, 12:02 AM

Hello everyone,
I recently noticed my cycling 90G tank has some slimy pests aka pond snails. Would anyone in the Denver area have a surplus of assassin snails to sell/trade/give away

? Also if you know of a LFS that has some let me know...Thanks much

From my experience, assassin snails will never do the job of a few botia striata. Best snail control i've ever seen!

And they're cuter too!

Those loaches are pretty cool, but I'm stocking this tank with some SA cichlids and know that they will pester/injure any non aggressive fish...anyone know if cichlids will eat pond snails?
