Missing Assasins

[bally]

hi

last week i had 3 assasin snails and my first baby assasin all doing well. This week i have been treating the tank with excel flourish to rid of the dreaded BBA. In that time i've not seen seen any of the assasins and the baby i found this morning was an empty shell.

There is nothing in the tank that can eat the assasins other that the assasins themselves. I fear the worse. Can Excel kill them?

cheers

Looks like the bigguns ate the baby, it happens. The others are hidden in your substrate, they like to bury themselfs.

I'm not sure about assassins but I know apple snails can be sensitive to flourish excel.
My apple snails went inside their shells and were very reclusive for a few days after dosing.
It's quite possible assassins have the same sensitivity.
