Assassin snails safe with Nerite snails?

[Ross]

I was hoping to add some Assassin snails to mop up my MTS and I have about 8 Nerites will they be safe?I dont want to put them in danger because I love my nerites

I put about 10 assassins in my 720 litre tank which also is home to about 5 Adult Nerites. They have virtually eradicated my MTS, which is great, and they have left the nerites alone.

But this maybe due to them having enough MTS to kill....

You'll only squash snails, until one of the shells actually slashes your finger. Be careful.

i might get say 2 of these guys and see if they can eradicate some smaller snails (do they eat little ones, about 5mm long?)

Yes, should be no problem.
