Assassin Snail

Name: Assassin Snail
Scientific Name: Clea helena
Maximum Length: About 1 inch
Favorite Things: Clean aquariums with sand or fine gravel substrate. Excellent for controlling pest snail populations — hunts and consumes nuisance snails such as bladder, pond, and ramshorn snails. Enjoys meaty foods like frozen bloodworms or leftover fish food when snails are scarce.
Best Buddies: Peaceful community fish and hardy invertebrates. Completely safe with fish, shrimp, and plants. Avoid mixing with other predatory snails or delicate nano shrimp colonies in very small tanks.
