I was selling off the extras on ebay for a while. That's why I was breeding in 3 tanks. But, it just got out of control. Now I've decided to just keep a 10g snail tank for food. The assassin's will clean up the betta tank and the dojo loaches should clear up the community tank (i hope)

I was just watching my new assassin snails ... I watched one creep up behind a ramshorn. I figured I would see that long nose go into the shell and see a shell drop away, but it looks like he just sniffed the ram and went around
Or, were you talking about dojo loaches? I still haven't seen them eat any snails. But, I do see them digging a lot. I crushed a couple MTS with pliers last night to see if the loaches were interested. They swam right past it, but someone ate them. just a few shell fragments this morning.
