You want to eliminate assassin snails? They don't reproduce that fast, just pick them out. Why would you want to get rid of snails anyway?

Au contraire, mon'amie
I started out with 5 that I had to get from the west coast because nobody seemed to sell them here at the time
When I was bringing them to the auction my population was up to 50 that I could count in my 14 Gal tank
They were like rabbits
There aren't so many these days because my water is soft enough their shells deteriorate but once I put fresh aragonite into the filter I expect more of them will survive
One would think that assassin snails would kill other assassin snails but that doesn't seem to happen
I believe they are classed as an invasive specie
