I've just introduced 3 new assassin snails into my main tank - joining 2 others that have been in there for a couple of months.
One of the established ones has grabbed one of the new smaller ones and I'm not sure what it's intentions are...... I've read that they aren't cannibalistic of their own kind, so I'm hoping that it's benign behavior of the loving kind (although with undue haste - the new ones have only been in there 5 minutes )
Has anyone read or had experience of cannibalistic assassins?
