Assasin Snail

Assassin Snails (Anentome helena) are one of the most effective natural solutions for controlling unwanted snail populations in freshwater aquariums. Unlike pest snails, Assassins are slow-breeding predators, making them ideal for controlling ramshorn, bladder and pond snails without taking over your tank.

 

Each snail has bold black and yellow banding, stays compact in size, and is fully safe with shrimp and peaceful fish. They actively hunt pest snails but will also eat leftover food, sinking pellets and protein-rich treats.

 

Perfect for:

✓ Shrimp tanks

✓ Community aquariums

✓ Overrun tanks with ramshorns, pond or bladder snails

✓ Nano to large aquariums

 

Care Requirements:

• Temperature: 22–28°C

• pH: 6.5–7.8

• Hardness: Medium–hard

• Diet: Pest snails, protein foods, sinking pellets

• Behaviour: Peaceful, will not attack shrimp or fish

 

All Assassin Snails are home-raised in clean, stable water and are healthy, active and ready to work.
