My tank is being overrun by bladder snails and I fear my Killer isn't doing their job. Recorded them for nearly 20 minutes trying to get some in their path after one dropping from atop got their attention enough to dig out of the substrate (but they immediately lost them, which is why I began interfering). Are they sick? Stupid? A lazy bum not paying rent? Considering getting a second assassin but I fear it will also have shitty hunting skills.

They are the remaining triop from the batch I've posted about, specifically the younger set I accidentally hatched during my attempt at cleaning the substrate after the massive die off scare (and somehow I came to the conclusion that they were born from the fairy shrimp eggs I thought I got ripped off of instead of what would obviously happen if I put the "cleaned" triop substrate into the Jar for fairyshrimp).

The eldest of the eldest set died at 82 days old, 17 days longer than their parent, the second-eldest of the younger set died at 39 days, 26 days less than their parent/grandparent, which concerns me a little but it may be due to them maturing a lot quicker because of the scent of the 4 eldest they shared the tank with as one redditor suggested.

Pinky has been granted a name for their light patch that started out a small stripe to what its become now, they're still eating and molting as usual so it doesn't seem to affect their health. Unless I'm completely wrong and my last survivor is suffering of shrimp cancer.

I'm sorry for my bad grammar.

Here is Pinky!
