🐌 Assassin Snails (Clea helena)

Take control of pest snails in your aquarium with Assassin Snails — natural, effective, and fascinating to watch. These carnivorous snails actively hunt common pest snails like pond snails, bladder snails, and ramshorns, helping to keep your tank balanced without chemicals.

Peaceful toward fish, shrimp, and plants, Assassin Snails are both functional and visually interesting, with their striking patterned shells adding character to any aquarium.

✅ Effective natural pest control
✅ Safe with shrimp and most community fish
✅ Unique shell patterns and behaviours
✅ Low-maintenance and easy to keep

Water Parameters:
💧 Temperature: 20–28°C (68–82°F)
💧 pH: 6.5–8.0
💧 GH: 6–12
💧 KH: 3–8
💧 TDS: 150–300 ppm

Care Notes & Feeding Tips:
Feed leftover pest snails or occasional sinking carnivore foods. Remove uneaten food after 24 hours to maintain water quality and prevent fouling.

Breeding:
Assassin Snails lay small individual eggs on tank surfaces. They reproduce slowly, and while they are easy to keep, monitoring their population is recommended if controlling pest snails is the main goal.
