Will Assassin snails eat baby livebearers?

Dear Mr. Sullivan,No, they will not. In fact, they will help to keep the tank free of tiny bits of food th livebearers may have missed.

It seems like crickets, mealworms (normal size, jumbo and super), waxworms, and earthworms, grasshoppers, butterworms, locusts, and small goldfish are acceptable. I'd make sure they are an approriate size though. Source: http://www.triciaswaterdragon.com/diet.htm

I've had mine for about 5 days now and they have displayed no aggression towards snails. I've only seen them wave thier little claws at fish that swim too close and just as I was typing this, one snapped at a gourami that tried to take his food!

They probably will. I have been having trouble with those critters for the past two years. I just keep on trying to kill them

Hello,I don't know much about Emperor Scorpions but The issue I had with these freeze dried crickets is that my beardie prefers live, moving creatures. These I think would work fine for someone that can't get live food but I think it depends on if your scorpions will eat dead prey. You can also try the can o' crickets. I haven't personally used those but a variety of options may be your best bet. Hope this helps

I bought these snails last year. They came nicely packed for warmth and safety and on time. The problem is I bought them to put them in my turtle tank to help keep it clean and the turtle ate them. So don't put them in with reptiles, but fish should be okay. Your tank size should be fine as they come very tiny. You may have to move them later as they start to grow bigger.

If you feed them dry oatmeal, and a carrot for water you can breed them, they will change into beetles in about 3-4 weeks... If you wan2 keep them longer as worms, you can put them in your frig, they will hybernate and stay worms longer, they will not die.. There are videos on YouTube you can see on breeding and care... Hops this helps you

I do not know as we do not own a turtle.. but our crayfish gets along well with our snails

the nectar is made mostly of aphid waste and a sugar base. Fish shouldn't be hurt in the process but the ladybugs might start falling into the water and drowning

They are pretty similar in size to the M&D bugs. The seahorse and octopus are quite a bit larger though. They may fit in the larger Easter eggs.

Well I have about 30 of these snails. One beta and two shrimp. I have learned to buy all my aquatic creatures as young as I can find them. That way the can adjust to my Eco system. When I bought big snails they all died, but my baby snails and juvenile shrimp are doing ok. I do not have a heater. However most of the summer my tank live in the basement. And I bring it back up in the fall. I do not have a turtle, but if you got maybe sixty snails, how many could your turtle eat !! &#128077; good luck

I've had noproblem with that; had them only three months, but I researched that before ordering. I've seen no babies at all yet. My other snails were so bad...two kinds, that I ended up changing all my gravel this week. I sifted thru every little bit to make sure I wasn't throwing away Assassins. They like to hide in the gravel until the lights go out, so I look for them when I turn off lights & just have the blue lights on. They're much more attractive than the other snails, & they'll eat algae as well.

Ashley, I would highly discourage introducing Assissin or any other snail into your tank. They will reproduce like crazy and soon you will be overrun with snails. I speak from personal experience. They don't clean the tank at all. I would suggest two or three small variety of Corey Catfish. They will do a great job of cleaning.

River rocks, sand, normal tank rocks doesn't matter. Pleco won't do anything to them. The eel on the other hand I have no clue. I ended up buying these due to a fish store accidentally infecting me with trash snails. They bred by the thousands. I originally got loaches to deal with them but they were to small and were bullied by my bicher. So far these snails seem to be doing the trick and cleaning. The remaining loach hasn't bothered them yet either.

Yes, Laurel--the active ingredient, B.T., will kill any caterpillar larva if they ingest it--it will paralyze their gut and they starve to death. You can find articles on sites such as EHow.com that tell you how and when to apply it in the spring. I notice that the Safer website doesn't specify that Caterpillar Killer kills bagworms, but sites about the use of B.T. say it works. Hope this helps!

I doubt it, but I don't know what type of turtles you have. I'm certain my Red Eared Sliders would eat them as my RES try to eat everything in the tank (even the sand). Although, I've been able to keep alive with my RES some tinfoil barbs, and a pleco, but they were with the turtles as babies and are all large now. These crayfish are bite size to a turtle, and an expensive meal. I even have a food that includes dried shrimp in it that are about size of mini crayfish.

I would advise to fish out the triops as soon as they hatch. They feed on daphnia. Hopefully this will give better results.
