    Default what to feed assasin snails after pest snails are all dead?

    so my 7 assasin snails cured me of my pond snail infestation for about a month now. so if i dont have anymore pond snails for them to munch on , will they eventually die off or is there something i can feed them that will keep them alive.? they are quite cool to look at.

    agreed, I have 2 in a 33g comm tank and it is snail free with the exception of them and one Nerite snail. They do just fine scavenging.
