I did not have any luck with the assassins. They were very small and kept going down in the rock. However, the loaches cleaned my 55 g in a matter of weeks.

I'm surprised you're clowns aren't eating the snails! My clowns love any snails I put in the tank. I'd be surprised if they didn't eat the assassins...

No - but they didn't work for our tank. The died pretty quickly and weren't able to help with our snail population. We were disappointed.

I like to keep an invertebrate in the tank, such as a snail or a shrimp. They are good at keeping the tank tidy and bettas don't mind animals who aren't fish.

I've used it in my tank with snails on many occasions without any problems. My snails are still safe and happy. I am not saying it is or isn't safe, simply saying that in my tank, my snails are doing great using Algone on a regular basis. Keeps the water clear and healthy as well!

If he is larger like 1 inch+ diameter then I would say no. They didn't mess with my nerites over the three months I had them in the tank. If smaller then it would be at your own risk.

Any should work, but other baits are possible. Have they already caught mice? If so you may need to boil them to get rid of the scent.

Not too bad. I have catfish. Plecostmous, koi, and algae eaters, they all love it just fine.

I don't know.......I don't think it's any more useful than the gravel in your aquarium. I eventually got rid if it because I didn't like the looks in my aquarium.

im not sure i can answer that but i would put my faith in the people that made it biger isnt always beter my water in my 7 gallon tank is clear and no phospate or alergie but i do have snails and cleaner shrimp and hermit crabs but for 10 gallons i would say buy the smaller one unless in the future you want to get a biger tank

They're doing very well together in my tank. As long as he gets enough food, he should leave them alone.

I think it's fine. I had the same thing- a few here and there for a bit, but then they were totally gone. The ones that come out will bring back more bait to their nest.

Ashley, I would highly discourage introducing Assissin or any other snail into your tank. They will reproduce like crazy and soon you will be overrun with snails. I speak from personal experience. They don't clean the tank at all. I would suggest two or three small variety of Corey Catfish. They will do a great job of cleaning.

Once they are all dead you can have your sphere recharged if you wish. Shipping it back to the company for a fee they will restore the ecosystem to perfect balance with new shrimp and whatever may be needed and return it to you.

these snails will do well in almost any size tank, the goldfish may pose a small problem but the breed prolifically so a few lost wont mean much overall.

Well I have about 30 of these snails. One beta and two shrimp. I have learned to buy all my aquatic creatures as young as I can find them. That way the can adjust to my Eco system. When I bought big snails they all died, but my baby snails and juvenile shrimp are doing ok. I do not have a heater. However most of the summer my tank live in the basement. And I bring it back up in the fall. I do not have a turtle, but if you got maybe sixty snails, how many could your turtle eat !! &#128077; good luck

I have one of these CPO crayfish in a tank with a Betta, 2 small fish, corrie catfish, 2 snails, and african dwarf frog. I have no real problems after 2 months. This Mexican crayfish is way too small to eat even my tiniest snail (about 1/2").

About half of them sink right away , while the rest seems to float for a while . I think this company might make a floating food . If you try this one you might want to try a small jar first. Most of the aquarium shops I know feed this food to their fish cichlids love it
