  • What is the secret to getting assasin snails to reproduce?

    I am missing something here. Do these need brackish water like the nerites do? Are the assasins eating their own spawn?

    150 gallon - my African cichlid monster tank (I know it isn't a big as yours)
    17 gallon - Threadfin rainbows and corys lightly planted
    5 gallon - planted red cherry shrimp breeder
    3 gallon - planted red cherry shrimp breeder

    mine reproduce in 100% houston tapwater.
    Lots of high animal protein foods like hikari carnivore pellets should get them in the mood.

      I use shrimp pellets.

      Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
      Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

        Yeah, generally they reproduce when there is an excess of food. A good sinking pellet should do the trick. Basically the same thing that makes MTS and other pest snails multiply does the same thing for assassins.
