It would be cool to selectively breed them and work towards an all black strain but I just dont think its possible. Like you said, you can't sex them which makes it hard to pair up the chosen couple. Even if you did have a male and female, they might not breed with each other. And the biggest...
I've got one that is fully black and another thats about 75% black so I was hoping I might see some black babies but I guess thats not how snail genetics work haha
Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately the slug had already been devoured when I read this so hopefully it wasnt carrying anything. I put the slug in and the assasin snails were all over it within a few minutes
I do have pothos growing out of the tank so the only explanation would be that the slug came in on the pothos and fell in the tank but I still dont understand how. I washed all of the plant before I put it in and it's been in there for 2 months now.
Arrived back home and found it just laying at the bottom of the tank and I took it out because I thought it had died but it started moving once it was out of the tank so I'm going to assume its just a land slug. It will make a good meal for my assassin snails but I have no idea how it got into...
Just a plant stuck underneath the breeder box but the 2 sides of the box have a small lip at the bottom. Is that something that can happen? Plants growing in the silicone or digging their roots into it?
The box you see is an acrylic breeder box not the edges of my tank. I moved a piece of moss into the breeder box and there must have been some assasin snail eggs on it
Managed to take a bad picture of a baby assassin snail that is only a few days old. I've checked before and I don't think I could find a single picture of a baby assassin snail before.
Does anyone know if this is a devoleped strain or if they are just some mix of different colours? Just bought them and they were supposed to be albino yellow lace guppies but they clearly aren't. All 5 males are showing the same colours and patterns and the females are aswell so they might be...
I've got a 30gal planted tank with a canister filter rated for a 60gal tank. I've currently got 3 amano shrimp and 5 pygmy cories but I want a school of atleast 15. I will be getting a couple of guppies in a few months but the population will be kept to probably about 10-15. How many pygmy...
I feed mine crab cuisine pellets and occasionally frozen bloodworms and they all come out of the sand within a few seconds. They do take a very long time to breed though with the eggs taking about a month to hatch and the babies then have minimum 6 months until they reach a decent size
I've had 2 adult assassin snails and 2 babies for 6-12 months now but I rescaped the tank and decided to introduce 9 more. My black assassin snail has been attached to one of the new snails since they were introduced and I naturally assumed that they were breeding but it's now been 11 days and...
If all the other fish in that tank are fine and the guppies were acting normal then I'd say you don't have anything to worry about because the guppies probably died of age
