    Assassin Bumble Bee Snails
    Clea Helena
    Size: ½” to ¾” or larger
    Product Description:
    Assassin Snails (
    Clea
    Helena) are
    one of the most useful animals in the aquarium hobby.  They
    will obliterate
    unwanted pest snails and eliminate the need to use
    harsh, snail
    -killing chemicals in your aquarium.  They are particularly adept
    at handling
    populations of pond snails, Malaysian trumpet snails, ramshorn
    snails, bladder
    snails, and more!
    They eat all other types of snails that are their size or smaller, but they will not harm snails that are larger (such as Mystery Snails, Giant Sulawesi Snails, and larger Nerite Snails).  However, large groups of Assassin Snails have been known to gang up on a larger snail and take it down, so caution should be exercised when keeping these, even with larger snails.  They are safe to keep with fish, most invertebrates, live plants, and other aquarium inhabitants because their preferred meal are snails. But some caution needs to be taken when housing them with dwarf shrimp. There is a slight risk of an assassin snail eating a dwarf shrimp from time to time. They would much prefer to eat snails, but if given the opportunity there is a chance, they could get a shrimp. So, caution must be used when housing with others nails and dwarf shrimp.
    As an added bonus, Assassin Snails are rather attractive in appearance.  Due to their yellow and black/dark brown striping, they look fantastic on both light and dark-colored substrates. Their shells are spiral-shaped and taper down to a point at the end. Their bodies are an iridescent, almost translucent white color and consist of along Proboscis (a sucking mouthpart, similar to a nose) that they use to drag themselves around, as well as two eyes underneath two tentacles.
    Having good substrate is important with
    Assassin Snails
    , as they love to burrow in it; we recommend sand.  As with
    all snails
    , these are very sensitive to copper, so we advise monitoring
    copper levels
    if tap water is used to fill the tank.

    snails are received and added to your tank it can take up to 24hours before they become fully acclimated and feel safe enough to move
    around. Just
    because they don't move as soon as they are added to the tank does
    not mean
    they are dead. Unless they are hanging out of the shell lifeless when
