 | Assassin Snail (Antentome helena) |
jasonpisani   *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 5553 Kudos: 7215 Votes: 1024 Registered: 24-Feb-2003   | Any body knows if the Assassin Snail (Antentome helena) eats any plants?. I want to buy some of these to get rid of the "pest" snails in my planted tank, but I don't want them eating the plants. Thanks in advance.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

All I could find was: They eat any and all snails of equal or lesser size, except other assassins When no other snails are available they scavange leftover fish food and algae wafers They won't eat algae and suppossedly no live plants There isn't much info out there on them. Hope this helps.  TTFN --->Ta-Ta-For-Now Kelly ;o} |
