Assassin Snails Wont Breed!

Hiya

Had these blinding little snails for over six months but there are no babies! Got four in the tank and they do a great job and look cool but i cant seem to get them to breed....The MTS breed like its out of fashion, so why dont these beauts do the same???

Tank temp is around 24c...

Any ideas?

I have to ask, you don't have both snails togther?

and apparently they'll breed if you overfeed your fish slightly

Do you mean do i have the MTS and assassins in the same tank? Yes I do.

The overfeeding certainly hasnt helped with mine, but im a bit disinclined to raise the teamp to 27c. Its been 24c since day one and i've had very little problems with the tank in over 7 years, so not keen on changing the parameters.

Maybe i've got the ones that arent interested!!!

there's why you don't see and babies.

Assassin snails eat other snails I'm afraid!

Remove them / seperate the two and you may find your MTS will breed

I think they want to breed the assassin snails, not the MTS. I've heard assassins need a male and a female, maybe you only have all males or females?
