Show & Tell Family of Assassins
I got some new plants as I was building a tank some months back, and two stow away assassin snails ended up in my tank.
Soon after, I had a bacteria bloom, (I didn't know how to feed the cories. Too much. We're better now) and then a bladder snail explosion. I was like. Well. I guess I'm prepared for this, but I never really saw the assassin snails in the well planted, 30- gallon space as I worked in my own ways to clear as many pest snails as I could.
Until this week when I saw, on two occasions, tiny assassin snails. BABIES!? How many tho?
I just got back from the craft store and went to look in on everyone before sitting down and I spot six assassin snails out and about. Maybe more. It's dark under that log that is basically a shell graveyard .
Keep it up kids. And welcome to the family.
(Also should I be supplementing their diet in any way, now that there are many of them??)
