Assassin and Nerite snails

[Anonymous]

Hi guys just wondering if Nerite snails are compatible with assassin snails?? I'm assuming they are as nerite's are much larger but unsure.??

I got them both together and there are no issues.. I also got Khuly Loaches, and they do not eat the assassin snails or the nerites.

it is unadvisable to keep assassins with other snails as they will eat them, ghost has been lucky so far. I've seen a few large apple snails taken out by assassins before. Up to you if you want to risk it, but i wouldn't if i were you.

Also Kuhli Loach are scavengers, not snail eaters (thought i'd just point that out)

Im going to get a couple of Nerites. What would you advise to eradicate a snail problem? Got baby ramhorns everywhere and couple of other species.

My Khuly loaches eat all the trumpet snails they find, leaving the assassin snails and nerites.. 🙂

On my tank I got only assassin snails and nerites, and some shells of trumpet snails. 🙂

Assasin snails have the abilty to make a hole in its preys shell, which is why (in theory) no snails are safe, but more often than not they will ignore anything considerably bigger than themselves.
