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
