Assassin Snails have a reputation of being able to help keep populations of some other freshwater snails in check. While keeping a small group of Assassin Snails in a tank may reduce the numbers of pest Snails somewhat, Assassin Snails should not be considered the only solution to snail population explosions. An Assassin Snail is a carnivore that buries itself in substrate, waiting for something to eat. Assassins are particularly fond of eating Malaysian Trumpet Snails, Ramshorn Snails and pond snails that happen to move by.
