    Dorothy : How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
    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.

    I need some of these for my 150g, wanted to get some from darbex but I am never out by his area. How many do you think I would need for my tank?

      I'm selling some because Darbex is out.


      Are you trying to get rid of MTS in the 150? I'd get 15-20... and let them have fun!

        Yeah, I need to empty tank to take out the substrate and switch out with aragonite but have not had a chance because of the cold wether. What times are you available, I am normally off every other Friday and weekends but I have to work because of a project deadline?

            I think I will try Saturday after work, maybe around 3 or 4. I will call first to see if you are available.

                  Bump for a friend.

                  By the way I have told people that these will not mess with nerites because I have never seen it happen and internet reading says so as well. Well I will now say that is a lie. I saw one of my biggest Assassins kill a nerite. I saw it trying one day and thoughts thats funny because Nerites are supposed to have the strongest trap door everyday for about a week I saw the two sitting in the same place never thought about breaking it up because I didnt think the assassin will do anything well today I saw an empty Nerite shell. So I have visual proof that an Assassin snail will destroy Nerites just not as easy as MTS and other snails because it took him a week to get him out.

                        I have only seen it happen once in a year of owning the snails and it was the biggest snail that did it. The size of the ones you have will take several months to get to the size of the one that killed the nerite.

                          Tim,

                          Thanks for the snails, it literally took less than a minute before some of them started dining on MTS.
