Other snail varieties (Nerite Snails, Mystery Snails, Sulawesi Snails, etc.), dwarf shrimp (Blue Velvet Shrimp, Sakura Fire Red Cherry Shrimp, Neon Yellow Shrimp, etc.), and peaceful fish species.

Additional Notes:
Assassin snails feed on other snails and leftover fish food but will not harm healthy fish or shrimp. They are useful in controlling pest snail populations in aquariums. It’s important to maintain a balanced diet for them when pest snails are scarce, and they can be sensitive to high copper levels in water.
