Nice vid, Assassin Snails are amazing. I always keep a few incase of a snail invasion in my tanks.

Interesting vid. Thanks for sharing. But do you think they'll acquire a 'taste' for shrimps and try to hunt them instead of snails?

I read about this on the internet too, but my snails never ever attacked any shrimp. I dont know why this would happen anyway, shrimps are probably the last thing on their food chain or maybe i am simply lucky. Just to be save, i would feed them first before adding them to the shrimp tank, hungry Assassin Snails are really mean.

May I know where to get these Assassin snails? Mine tank is over-populated with snails now.
