Assasin Snail (Clea helena)

Assassin Snails (Clea helena)

Got a snail problem? Assassin Snails are the natural, no-chemical solution your aquarium’s been waiting for.

Assassin Snails are small, striking freshwater snails known for controlling unwanted pest snails such as bladder, mini ramshorn, and pond snails. Unlike most snails, they’re carnivorous hunting down pests while leaving plants completely untouched.

With their bold yellow-and-brown striped shells, Assassin Snails also make a unique and interesting addition to planted and aquascaped aquariums.

Why choose Assassin Snails?

• Natural pest snail control

• Completely plant-safe

• Peaceful with fish and shrimp

• Great for planted & aquascaped tanks

Once pest snails are reduced, Assassin Snails will happily accept leftover fish food, sinking pellets, and frozen foods, helping to clean up excess waste.
