Their messy home



Sensing there is food



Fighting for a piece of food



Even the snails are moving out

CRS getting over run by Redz







So far all CRS shrimplets have never made it pass a week, praying that this batch might make it.

Nice red Bro Oh? Is that a CRS tail at the fourth pic on the right?

[wingwa77]

Yup it is a CRS, but just started on CRS so pardon the low grade CRS

[Xianghao]

hey bro, i think the assassin snails are not compatible with shrimps in the same tank. They tend to attack shrimps which are moulting i think..

is it? So far I have not seen them attacking any shrimps. But have been them eating a dead oto.

Have you seen them actually attack any shrimp? Any pro care to advise?

[Fuzzy]

I've seen them eating more than one of my CRS, but I don't know if the CRS died naturally, was sick, or was just outright murdered by my A Helena...

Never seen assasin snail eating my shrimp, it would be quite hard for it to catch them, but it will scavenge on dead or dying animal.

[Xianghao]

they cannot catch a healthy shrimp obviously because they move slow, but when the shrimp is moulting it is quite immobile, and that's the assassin snail's opportunity to attack. I have seen numerous of my shrimps getting sucked up dry by my assassin snails before. the shrimp carapace remains nice and intact but its meat inside gets sucked out, its quite horrific man, especially if it is a high grade crs you talking about. So if i were you, i wouldn't risk it.

[eeeeemo]

yeap. have two friends who reported shrimps being stung and then swallowed.

[wind88]

Very nice assasin snail.

[newlife]

Yes...they do....
Especially when your shrimp is moulting....
Lucky lucky enough to pass by your shrimp or your shrimp sway sway met it...it will curl your shrimp up and give it a good suck.
Don't under-estimate them as slow mover...
