Can I put assassin snails in a tank with nirate snails?

My 3 assassin snails have throughly demolished my pest snails in my QT tank and since my tanks are thriving I havent needed to buy and QT plants which is what pest snails typically ride in on. No excessive fry have been born lately so I haven’t needed to put my overflow in there for awhile so they don’t get the spare flakes either.

My nirates in my main tanks are all pretty big, much bigger than my assassin snails and there’s plenty of algae, leftover flakes, and I know rn there’s a small dead fish in one of my tanks but I can’t find the body so there’s that meal too if my current snails/bottom eaters haven’t polished him off yet.

So would it be okay to put them in so I don’t have to worry about their food intake? I can put them individually too if three in one tank is too much. I’ve got plenty of occupied tanks.

assassin snails kill other types of snail so you only put them together if you want one species dead.

If you wish the nerites to die then put the assassins in lol

3 might be pushing it. If it was one assassin, yeah. I've got one living alongside a nerite, and now 2 mystery ones. He can't tackle the big boys, but I've asked this question before myself and read about this, it seems assassins, in numbers, can and will somehow coordinate for a "hunt" for a bigger snail. So yeah, munch, crunch and brunch might go after one of your nerites if get hungry and ballsy enough.

That's a kick ass squad name btw, nicely done.
