The Assassin Snail is a small freshwater invert completely that is harmless toward fish and shrimps, but quite effective in reducing pest snail infestations. It is also very eye-catching in planted aquariums, featuring a bright yellow with chocolate brown striped shell. In the wild, you can find the Assassin Snail living in clean, fast flowing streams with sandy or muddy substrates, though they are also tolerant of a wide variety of water conditions including ponds and ditches. making them a great addition to the home aquarium. Opportunistic carnivores, the Assassin Snail feeds on both live prey and  detritus. They stay partially hidden under the sediment, and if a snail its size or smaller crawls past, they will chase and devour it. Otherwise, Clea helena is a peaceful community tank resident. Fish are at no risk and livebearer fry are ignored. All livestock sold at mgaquatics.com are all bred and raised in northeast Florida as we do not import livestock.
