Assassin Snail - Anentome helena

from £4.65

The Assassin Snail, also known as the snail eating Snail, is a fascinating and useful addition to freshwater aquariums. These snails are named for their striking black and yellow striped shells, which resemble the pattern of a bumblebee. They are highly effective at controlling pest snail populations, making them a valuable asset for maintaining a balanced and healthy aquarium environment. Assassin Snails are generally peaceful with fish and other invertebrates, but they are predatory and will hunt and eat smaller snails. They thrive in well-maintained tanks with stable water parameters and a steady supply of prey. These snails are relatively low maintenance and can be a great choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists looking to manage snail populations naturally. Their unique appearance and beneficial role in the tank make them a popular choice among aquarium enthusiasts.
