Dave, I am a Ph.D invertebrate zoologist and I have to say this was one of the best videos on snail anatomy and behavior I have ever seen. You are to be commended. I hope we’ll see more. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, there will be more. You may also be interested in my videos on dragonfly nymphs and mosquito larvae. ua-cam.com/video/hZJRXQJgpkg/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/X96-7Maa7Xk/v-deo.html
The level of detail you provide in your macro shots is insane. I'm new to the aquarium/snail world and I'm blown away by the production quality of your videos. Keep up the amazing work.
I found a snail attached to the bottom of my front door. I pulled it off and threw it over the fence into next doors garden. A year later there's a knock on my front door, I opened it and looked down, there's the same snail again. He looked up at me and said: "What did you do that for ?"
This is by far the best up-close footage I have ever seen of "Assassins Snails" outside of National Geographic. . . I am thoroughly impressed with the video quality. I watch this video at-least 5 times already. . . Again thanks for sharing ! ! !
This is a really nice video. It's refreshing to see something on UA-cam that has an accurate title, I don't have to wait 20 minutes for the actual content, and there's no annoying music or pointless narration.
The detail in every shot is unreal. Thank you for blessing us with this beautiful and very educational piece of work. I also learned something about the planteria that I didn’t know!!
Part of me wishes UA-cam didn't recommend this to me (I have had a mystery snail for a few months now and I'm absolutely in love) but part of me also loves and appreciate the time and dedication you put into this video. So thank you!
You're welcome. I love snails, almost as much as fish! It was a difficult thing to watch and film. But, most people had no idea that this kind of brutality was happening. I have had many people tell me that after watching the video, they will never get Assassin snails for their tank. . . By the way, my mystery snail video is awful, I used some wild-caught snails and they were in poor condition. I hope to make re-make it soon. It will be epic !!! :-)
@@TheDave333 I look forward to seeing more mystery snail content! The only thing that's really left on mystery snails are a few videos on UA-cam and a ton of forum posts. Hopefully your next one will really show off how great mystery snails are 😁
Snail over-population problems are usually caused by too much food in the aquarium. Snails reproduce in proportion to their food supply. Reduce the food, eliminate the need for the snail-on-snail violence. :-)
I just put some of these in my tank. I do not overfeed so the bladder snail and ramshorn are attacking the plants. I have watched them do it with my own eyes. So, assassin nails, do your work!
@@Danceswithfishes snails usually don't attack healthy plants... You can easily build a trap with a little bottle , there are many tuto here , then you can froze them To kill them in a less painful way possible ...
@@TheDave333 I must confess I regret getting the assassins. I want to get some beautiful mystery snails and I am worried the assassins will kill them. I know they can gang up to bring them down.
That was way more graphic than I was expecting. Not that it bothered me, I just wasn't expecting that much savagery from a freakin' snail! Totally fascinating... and OUTSTANDINGLY filmed. This is the first video of yours that I've seen and I'm going to check out more. Anything 1/10th as good as this and you've got yourself a sub!
6 years and still getting views. I searched specifically as my tank is infested with tiny snails that hump all day long so I bought some assassins. This video was one of the grossest things I've seen since 2G 1C 😉😉 Great insight into how they do their work 👏🏽
This is one of the best aquarium related videos ive ever seen! I am in need of assassin snails and this popped up in my recommended. Thanks for this informative and very visual video. Thanks!!!
I had a dead rasbora in my tank yesterday. I filmed my assassin finding it, then manoeuvring it so it could go in through it's mouth! I filmed it in time lapse and you could actually see the rasp, deep inside the fish. It was eaten from the inside out. Grotesque but fascinating. They are really quite amazing creatures
They really are amazing yet disturbing creatures! They don't have very strong mouthparts, so when they start feeding, they typically go for the softest spot that they can find. On a fish that's through the mouth or behind the gill cover. And this is the reason they can't attack and eat animals with hard shells like shrimp. Thanks for watching the video and sharing your experience.
" it's snail on snail violence and viewers discretion is advised", I thought he was just joking. I mean they are just snails after all how bad it can be! Right? Wrong!!! This is a really disturbing stuff and I am scarred for life! I feel like throwing out the only assassin snail I have in my tank. Great footage bdw.
The video image itself was high quality. Very satisfying detail. In my opinion there should have been at least some audio. Gravel moving, music, narration.
Excellent well demoed and explained. The wording was on long enough for me to read it, sometimes people take it off so quickly that you can’t even read everything. Amazing clear footage! Well done. 👍🏻
Dear Dave, thanks for your effort to bring these amazing videos. I am a biologist specialized i aquatic organisms. I must say this video is very explanatory! keep the good stuff coming!

was searching assassin's creed game then this pop up instead . wasn't disappointed at all ... very interesting little creatures, great job new subscriber here 😃😀
Brutal. I am surprised to learn that they don't possess any harpoons, or toxins, like the cone snails. I had just assumed they did. Didn't know that ramshorns had haemoglobin either.
They do secrete digestive enzymes that help liquify their prey. So, there's always that nightmare! They used to be considered a close relative of the cone snails (Conidae) , but taxonomists now realize that they're more closely related to mud snails (Nassariidae). Thanks for watching the video and taking the time to leave a comment.
Nice, informative, n beautifully documented video. Each frame of this video is Crystal clear n we can see what actually is happening. U have nice video camera ,Dave👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌

Wow, great job with footage and text. You put a good amount of work into this. I appreciate the lack of crappy generic music. Narration would be a welcome addition but that would require even more work and it's fine without. Nicely done

They eat anything containing protein, so maybe it has an easier food source. Also, they don't eat everyday, and you'll need more than one to make a difference. A sand substrate and warm water helps with reproduction and appetite.
