| Hello people...here is my predicament....I recently become stupefied by snails (they're freaking awesome)...so I set up a small tank in which i put in Golden apple snails...well to my surprise I think one of them came with some babies inside it's shell (at least that's my hypothesis..because I know they lay eggs...and all of a sudden with no egg casting there are 3 little one's running around my tank)...anyway....I was ecstatic to say the least because SURPRISE!!!! you have cool little snails crawling around....so back to my problem.....when I set up the tank I only had 1 apple and when i bout the others I also bought another little snail with a cool looking yellow cone shell with black/brown bands around it and I what looks to be a little elephant's trunk on it.....well now as i did more research I found out that this little guy is a Anentome Helena AKA Assassin Snails ....I read it eats snails for a living lol.....well my question is are the baby apples safe with this guy around? they have been in the same tank for a while now and the babies are still crawling around....I also keep them well fed....so what should I do? | |

| Your assasin needs a new home. Do you have a planted tank that has too many pond snails in it? | |
