🔨 Why I broke down my fish tank
About 8 months ago I added 2 assassin snails into my snail infested tank in hopes of clearing them out, but unfortunately, they didn’t get the job done completely.
About five months in, the assassin snails self-destructed, leaving behind the biggest ramshorn snails.
At first I thought it was an issue with the water quality, but then I realized the assassin snails may have just had too large of a buffet and over ate since the tank was still teeming with life (detritus worms, copepods, and ramshorn snails).
I decided to just tear down the tank since there were too many pests, what should I add now? :)

you should get some shrimp to add to that tank 😀
By "brake down" you just mean remove everything & clean right?

The assassins became bored with easy prey, became disillusioned with their existence and decided to die.

I'm a keeper of assassin snails and I noticed that the tank you are keeping them in is pretty small. They are extremely sensitive to changes in the water and temperature, which make them even more vulnerable if they're in a nano tank. Sadly they become lethargic and eat less when stressed out, and can die early as a result. Usually the internet suggests you can fit one in per 5 gallons, but I would suggest having a minimum of 15 gallons to offset any large changes done by doing a water change. Any less you are going to want to be very careful when adding in new water!
I was looking for this exact comment. Thanks for solving the mystery of the assassin snakes!
lowkey assassin snakes sound cool af
Mine did the same thing in a low stocked 29 🤷🏼♀️
I had an infestation of feeder snails in my 35 gallon. I put 2 assassin snails in and a week later I had double the amount of feeders. I bought and added 6 more assassin snails and waited another week. By this time there was so many snails and so many eggs, I removed my fish and 100 percent changed scrubbed and boiled everything and started over.
Thanks man
Those little white worms are called detritus worms and they are common but harmless segmented worms. Many aquarists would rather not have any worms in their tanks, but detritus worms are actually a great member of your tank’s clean-up crew. These tiny annelid worms work hard to break down waste which helps keep the tank clean and the water quality high.
Detritus worms are longer, those are straight up nematodes, they do about the same thing as detritus worms and are harmless for the most part however , nematodes swim in an s shape like in the video and are smaller, they live in my 6 gal and it is gross. 😢
@Ethan Roberts think I had them in my tank once, and just to say, that tank is no longer with us
@@ethanroberts2893 Detritus worms are in the Nematoda philam as nematode is a philam not a species. It goes Philam, Family, Species, Sub species and so on in the animal scientific naming world. There are 1000s of different nematodes out there and most are harmless but some are deadly like heartworms.
@@ethanroberts2893I don't know what you two are talking about, but I do want to point out that unless they come out of the egg/mom larger, it could have just been a baby. Sometimes larger animals are small when they're young, you know?
I'm pretty sure those aren't detritus worms cause I have detritus worms in my tanks and they don't look like that.
Detritus worms are thinner and smaller than that, idk what worm that is but I hope I don't get it cause I already have 2 different types of worms in my snail tank and detritus worms in my Betta tank. I can barely tolerate those worms, I can only tolerate them cause I can barely see them but if that worm spawned in my tank then I'm getting rid of everything with no hesitation.
I can't get rid of em. I tried deep cleaning and got rid of my Betta's previous tank but they still appeared.
And for my snail tank. Well. That's another story.
Things keep spawning in there like some Minecraft biome or some thing.
It is for mystery snails but then these small snails appeared out of no where and then detritus worms and another type of worm spawned in my brand new tank but the weirdest thing I saw in my snail tank has to be a ghost shrimp. . .I DIDNT EVEN PUT ONE IN THERE LET ALONE KEEP ONE AS A PET NOR DID I BUY ONE!!
It appeared out of nowhere. Idk where it is now but it was pretty weird, it did give me a heart attack though so fun times am I right? :)

Yall don't realize that the assassin snail went on a warrior's journey. But she wanted more death and carnage in her tank.
The assassin snail finally found peace and tranquility after a long life of death and killing. Passing away, into the next world making the fish tank a better place than they found it.
Well they were hired by the villain to genocide the land. In their flagrant failure, the villain in her ultimate power destroyed the whole landscape, leaving no survivors, and no trace.

Hey! Just letting you know that wasn't a parasite, it was a detritus worm! They help break down organic matter in your aquarium, fish love to eat them. Copepods too! All these little creatures are completely normal to see in a healthy, seasoned aquarium. I'd even consider them beneficial.

That wasn't a parasite, it was a detritus worm. Both they and copepods are beneficial as they consume waste, and they both make great food for fish fry.

Can confirm. Some snails are even more prolific than mice and rabbits. I remember we had such a bad infestation of them in the guppy tank I had as a kid. It seemed like every corner of the tank and all the decor was gummed up with snail eggs some weeks. I can't tell you how many we must've removed by hand.. Those poor guppies. Lol.

This actually happened to my axolotl tank with bladder snails! It was very interesting but the axolotls ate them all and the process was over haha. It was very interesting to watch and see them hunting for once versus being hand fed worms all the time. Snails are actually their favorite snack so it worked out great!

I had an assassin snail in my infested tank he was doing his job decently, then I just never really saw him, some time passed and snail were multiplying again. So i went and got another assassin, I start seeing the pest dissappear again, but then I also start seeing baby assassins. And now my tank is full of assassins. They don't go after each other I'll drop wafers down in the tank and they'll all swarm to them
that sounds like a dream I want an assassin snail army 🐌🐌🐌🐌
Mine has gon over a year without eating anything and i still see it from time to time. And he ate more then 150 mystery snails when i first got it. It also had 2 babies but the babies died for unknown reasons
Exactly what happen to me
Lmao you'll soon have an army
Interesting 🧐
Damn you fr got the 2 John Wicks of the snail world
Hey I don’t think that was a parasite. That was a detritus worm. They actually are very very beneficial for your tank, they eat the terrible stuff at the bottom of the tank or where clumped up material is. They eat dead plants and dead fish material. Living material, they break it down. They only become a lot though when’s theirs excess food in the tank or excess dead plant material.
I’m sure other things cause it but they are harmless and actually they are a benefit.
Thanks for the content ❤
Yes, that worm was a detritus worm. They are very beneficial to your tank as they eat fish poop, decaying matter, and provide a healthy free snack for your fish. It’s a shame you got rid of it 😢
Those are nasty maybe she didn't want worms in her fish tank
@asseata69 detritus worms are a healthy sign of a thriving aquarium and tanks without them are gross lol
but that wasn’t the only problem, she didn’t empty it solely for the worm anyways.
@@israa.6375 it’s just that she showed the worm when talking about parasites
I had these once, know it's beneficial but they are sooooo many of them in the tank and they reproduce so fast it's disgusting I have to clean the whole tank
When I had a pest snail infestation years ago I got two clown loaches. They absolutely wrecked the snail population within a week or so, and when all the snails were gone I gave them sinking wafers. They were amazing fish. I remember sometimes I could hear them 'talking' to each other (they make clicking sounds).
I should have done that instead of the puffer fish😂
I remember the time when my mother found a painted turtle on the side of the road. Keep in mind it was no bigger than a quarter, so she brought it home, I named him Lary and kept him for about a year. I liked giving him small dried shrimp and dead worms. After that year, my family decided he couldn't be a part of our family anymore, so we put him in a lake where we were sure there were many insects. That night, my dad was bringing down the tank and dropped it on the floor. Luckily, it was our kitchen floor! Once he dropped it, fat black worms that were small were wriggling on the ground, crawling everywhere there were A LOT. Before I released my turtle, I noticed he would hide under a rock and wasn't eating as much. Can someone let me know if this behavior was because of those worms, and what are the worms?
They're probably a type of parasitic worm that often infests invertibrates, arthropods, and turtles. Horsehair worms. They're related to nematode worms. They leave the host as they mature. They aren't harmful to humans in any life stage, but they're creepy looking for sure!
Your little turtle buddy probably had vitamin A deficiency. Turtles need UV B to properly absorb vitamin A. If y'all kept him in the basement without a uv b basking lamp then that was probably the problem. It's a common problem with captive turtles. Your mom did the right thing by setting your turtle friend free.
@Just1Nora thank you, but this wasn't the case of the lamp. We kept him in a fish tank located on a sturdy desk between our living room and dining room . The fish tank was rectangular and large and provided a UVB light and a supplemental heat light. But your information about the parasite has been very helpful, thank you.
@Erica Oh, that's good to hear! Unfortunately, lots of people don't know about the uv b and the poor turtles get deformities due to the missing vitamin. Glad that was not the case. Horsehair worms are usually long and thin, hence the name, so they might have been leaches or some other parasitic worm. I'd suspect parasites for a lethargic turtle unless it got an intestinal blockage, but that's a pretty rapid decline if it happens. You'd know. I can't imagine a turtle in a nice warm tank trying to brumate either.
I hope that helped. I know it seems a bit vague, but without seeing it there are multiple things that could have happened.
It's sad to have to re-release an animal that you care for, but if they'll be happier in the wild and weren't captive bred, then releasing them is often the best option.
not me yelling SNAIL FORGERRRRRRRR
That was actually a really healthy tank. Detritus worms are good supplement food for the fish to pick off and they’re quite beneficial.
The snail issue could be seen as an indicator that you are over feeding the tank. The snail colony can only support itself so if you limit your feeding and continue that for a couple months, the snail population would regulate itself to that level of food.
Copepods and detritus worm are amazing food for the fish.
Personally, you could have just leave the tank and limit your feeding and the tank would have been perfect
It wasn't a good tank. Go tissue culture and clean Ada dirt.
@@XXS-wz5zl gross
@@XXS-wz5zl all the dirt and crap was because of said over feeding, it was a good tank in everything else though
@W.D. Gaster there were millions and millions of copepods, swimming around like a flea infestation. Every close up was full of pest That is disgusting 🤮
@@XXS-wz5zl if she didnt overfeed the fish they wouldnt have gotten to be that many because there wouldnt be a layer of uneaten food for them to eat, just like the snails

“I’ve seen snails that are better assassins than you.”- Some guy in Assassins Creed probably.
For those who dont know about assassin snails, Generally, Assassin snails are not aggressive towards each other. However, in one study I read that they can attack smaller snails of their own species if they are very hungry and do not sense other food around. (Basically when the snails died after they killed off their prey the new eggs hatched and their prey were able to flourish again.)
Im not surprised, a lot of animals cannibalize on each other if they cant find a source of food.
if you use assassin snails to get rid of snails, you'll just have an assassin snail problem

Just so you know that small worms wasnt a parasite, it was actually just a regular detritus worm. They're a good sign of a healthy ecosystem
No don't pull them out yet!I had assassin snail who when it got full. It would stop for like a month and then it would come back and continue the job. it might just be digesting!
Too late.
@@ktqtzz lol
At least they had a very full life ✊😞
They take a month to digest?
mine would, he would find a place to hide like under a decoration or gravel or some and wouldn't move for weeks. Then he'd come out and do his little snail thing again for a couple weeks and then start the process over again
That not a snail that a serial killer snail😂
Well we know the duckweed survived
R.i.p the assassin snails
The assassin snail probably didn't get paid enough
I think what she left out was the part where she hired another snail to take out two of the assassins and send the chopped up remains of them to the Snuadra (Snail Squadra)

If you like keeping fish, keep yoyo loaches and or some chain loaches, they will remove or prevent any snail infestation in any of your tanks. Just don't overfeed them as they will opt for pellet or easy to access food. If you leave them with just snails, your problem will be eliminated quite quickly. And no, don't just add them to get rid of the problem. Make sure to keep them around as members of your fish family even afterwards.
They kill shrimp
Ok
@@koenwijnen9186oh no what a pity 😮🤦😢

I’m sorry you had to break your tank down. :( and may the legendary assassin snails rest in peace, gone but never forgotten.
When you drained your tank, that was a bunch of duck weed 😂
Duck weed is so cool! I wrote a paper for college about urban forestry. I hope to use it to create a plan of implementation for my city. A lot of cities have regulations against reusing waste water. But you can use duck weed to purify and cleanse the water. I think that's so cool.
@@wifeofsauron1658 isn’t it invasive in some places?x
@Cara Englishby yes but in the same way, anything is invasive somewhere. With urban forestry, you would be using duckweed to purify vast of black and grey water to be recycled for the plants so you don't waste water needed elsewhere. Especially in places like where I live in a desert where water can be scarce. I also love that it eliminates us creating waste water and then dumping it elsewhere to be natures problem. Because I live in a desert we don't have ponds and such where duckweed could spread. So we don't run the risk of it choking out other plants here. However, duckweed isn't the only plant that does this. There are many other water plants that purify water that can be used depending on the area.
For a few seconds, I thought the assasin snail was a wasp-
That parasite jamming 🦠
That was a detritis worm not a parasite, it's actually beneficial to have them because they are decomposers that will build waste into the smallest particle making it safer for your fish

I personally like having snails in my tank. They finish off any food the fish might miss, and they help control the algae growth (although not enough, it is rampant in my aquarium).
Bro really made sure the snail’s food didn’t get that million dollars
I added 3 assassins in January to curb the ramshorn snail infestation we had picked up via new plants. We now have basically no ramshorns and about 20 assassins at various stages of growth 😵 everyone said they breed super slow but I find more every weekly water change.
Sell the assassins!
You must have like the perfect conditions for them. congrats on all the little assassins lol.

Those are awesome!
I had a snail problem in my tank and I added four of them. Within some weeks they multiplied while the population of the other snails decreased. And they don't only eat snails. Once one of my fish died and they were eating the whole thing. After some time they all died because there was nothing left to eat but it was really interesting how they cleared out all the snails.
Oh, you hired *only* Moxie and Blitz
Bro took “you are what you eat” seriously
We had a bunch of these a few years ago, I think they were a gift from a colleague of my dad's, they eventually deleted all of the lil brown snails that we got basically with plants. Sadly they also assassinated our two apple snails, I didn't expect it because they were much bigger, but I guess the assassins found a way. After they basically became our only snails, they started reproducing rapidly, not too long ago we collected and gave most of them away. No matter how morbid these snails are they have a special place in my heart from all the memories
I admire how you take good care of your fish and then tell us about it. I find your videos very interesting and satisfying 😌
My mind thought she was gonna eat the assassin snail with chopsticks at the start 💀
Imagine your a regular snail being chased at 0.1 km an hr by an assassin snail 🤣
This type of worm and seedshrimp are not pests. They are an important part of the microbiome, wich means they help your tank run the way it should. You are a great fishkeeper, but please, do not label anything u dont know as pests.

We had snails in our fish tank. Never again...they kept having babies and eating the fish until we had nothing left but snails. Now we use Pleckos for our alge and bottom feeders.

As someone who owns fish, if you had fish in that tank there would be nothing alive but fish and snails. Even the plants are not safe.
Not really. Goldfish does that but not tetra and other smaller non-aggressive fish
I never saw so much chaos in any fish tank. And you seem to enjoy it a lot!
That's so funny. I have 40 mystery snails in my tank. They mow over every other snail.
Actually here is the reason.
When it comes to survival animals are also aware of how survival works, so when they see young ones, they prefer not to kill them (if they are food), that leaves you with the assassins leaving children alive, not following the path of anakin.
I heard once that if you get snails in your tank that tank is practically screwed.
People just feed tanks way too much. Best way to dwindle a snail population is just to feed less often. Once every two days is plenty for most adult fish.
Assassin snail tried to live sustainably when it was already too late 😅
Those detritus worms and copepods are so cool! It just proves that your tank is healthy. And both of them won't damage or do anything bad in the tank. Just an healthy ecosystem. I never saw them in mine and I wish seeing them in my tank one day.
