Do Ramshorn Eat Assassin Snail's Newborn Babies

Hi Friends. Two months ago my Assassin Snail's laid eggs in my aquarium. Now many tiny baby assassin snails are crawling in my aquarium here & there. Some of them have their shells but some of them have not. Today I put 10 Ramshorn Snail in my tank. But now I am worrying if Ramshorn Snails Can Eat Assassin Snail's Newborn Babies. If someone have experienced of this type of situation in past or have any knowledge regarding this, please advise ASAP. Pictures of baby snails are attached.

Welcome to Fishlore :)

I don't think you need to be concerned about that happening. The baby assassins may turn around and eat the ramshorns.

If the assissan as hatched it will resemble the adult, shell as well, what won't be present are the distinct strips

If you are seeing something without a shell I can't imagine them being assassin snails. Assassin snails when first hatched look just like their parents, shell and all. If you can possibly get a picture of what you are seeing and mistaking for assassin snail without a shell someone my be able to identify it for you.

Yes they have shells. But my concern is if shell is hard enough to protect these tiny babies from Ramshorn Snails or not. I tried to capture HQ pics but not succeeded.

Ramshorn won't bother the assissans but when they grow they will eat your ramshorns

I guess I didn't understand when you said some of them have their shell but some of them don't. I agree with richiep The ramshorns aren't going to bother your baby assassins. The baby assassins will go after your ramshorns.
