Assassin Snail in acidic water

[Petah]

Currently have 3 assassin snails in a tank with PH 8+.... Would i be able to move them to a tank with PH less than 7? like 6.8?

mine have been fine in all ph levels, I'm no expert but I'd think, as long as they were acclimatized properly, they should be fine. However, I have read "they will not do well in water that is too soft or acidic. While the precise water chemistry values do not seem to be important, , moderately hard to hard water with a pH above neutral (10-20 degrees dH, pH 7-8) is preferred"

[Petah]

Yes, i read that too. The tank with the 6.8 PH has very soft water. i think kh and gh is both 0.

KH and GH of 0 would be bad for any snail as there is likely no Calcium present. We would recommend raising those levels before considering moving any over.

My assassin snails have been fine in an Ada tank with the ph at 6, they have been there for over 1 year....gh is at 4!
