I saw your comment first, but still could only say "no...". Aghast
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.

This turned out to be 1,000,000% more interesting than I thought it’d be. Super clear, sharp footage. Great stuff. Great work.
Wow, thanks!

This video makes me think my speaker is broken.
Silence is beautiful, isn't it? Sorry about the speaker :-)
I’ve been wondering for the longest time how these guys hunt. Your video is very informative and well-made. Thank you!
You're very welcome. . .
Longest time, no pun intended 😂
You might not see this comment but I want to tell you this is the greatest documentation of assassin snails I have ever come across
I've seen the comment, and I thank you. :-)
Viewer discretion is advised, especially if you’re a snail under the age of 16.

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 ?"
Nice . . . They're soooooo slow, but still so many places to go. :-D
The silence added to the horror
I was thinking that the entire time lol
Turns out this WAS disturbing. Sheesh never expected that
Thank for watching the video! Snails are amazing . . . :-)
@@TheDave333 Yes they are! I just got my first snail its not an assassin but its a pretty cool blue mystery snail (:
I prefer Mystery snails. The Assassins are really the jerks of the snail world!!!
@@TheDave333 I very much agree after watching this lol
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.
Thank you for the kind words. Welcome to my channel, and a wonderful hobby. :-)
Wonderful photography. Hell of a lot more interesting than the Super Bowl!
Thank you :-D
Great, now i'm going to have nightmares.
Mission accomplished! This one might have the same effect !! :-)

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 👏🏽
Thank you. I've responded to this comment twice, but YT keeps removing them for some strange reason. . .
Me trying to find a more humane way of controlling my snail population and buys these. Me now: 👁👄👁
I don't know what to say. . .
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 ! ! !
Thank you, for watching my video and leaving a comment. Don't forget to subscribe ! :-D
I don’t know how I feel about the assassin snails I just put in my tank now 🤭
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.
:-)
BrockPlaysFortnite dumb move
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!
@@elibell19 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.
No idea how I got here. But glad I got here.
Me too!
Never expect snail video of such high quality. I was researching how assasin snail eats and this explain perfectly.
Thank you. I work hard.
I can’t believe I watched the whole video...
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video. . . :-D
I can't believe I did either, but I have to admit it was very interesting to watch.
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!!
Thanks for watching the video. It was a lot of fun to make. :-)
This footage is INCREDIBLE. Truly exceptional. Thank you so much for sharing.
You're very welcome, and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. :-D
This is a superb video. Thanks a lot for making and sharing it.
My pleasure! It was a fun video to make, but I felt a little sorry for the ram's horn snails. . .
This is completely disturbing, but I can't look away
Sort of like driving by a car crash? You know you might see something horrible, but . . . .
Now, Imagine that this brutal animal is something a whole lot of Malaysians (myself included) have been happily eating! I am awash with awe and shame.
@ Mohd Razee Salleh I'd rather eat snails than chickens or cows . . . Seems healthier, but still not as healthy as fish !!! :-)
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!
Hi and welcome to The Dave . . . You're in for a treat !
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!!!
Thanks, I appreciate the love. Welcome to The Dave ! :-)
Great quality video. Good work Dave! Look forward for more!
Thank you. A new one coming soon . . . :-)
Dear The Dave:
Incredible footage, educational and downright disturbing. Love it! Wow!
Thank you for watching the video and leaving such a nice comment. Have a great day . . .
Thanks very much for your work, appreciate the time you've taken to do this.
Amazing video, quality and clarity. Well done, thank you.
You're very welcome, and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.
Thank you for your amazing work. I enjoyed watching this
You're very welcome.
What a horrifying way to die!
All you're missing is Sir David Attenborough's narration and you'd have yourself a mini documentary masterpiece!
Thanks for watching the video. Unfortunately, Sir Attenborough won,'t return my calls. :-D
Haha!
This is a really nice video. It's refreshing to see something on RUclips 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.
Thanks for checking out the video. I do like to get right to the point. :-)
I just wanted to say thank you for filming this. Excellent quality 👍
You're very welcome. It's a labor of love. 🎥
Greatly detailed and amazingly good video! Keep up the good work!
Thank you. I will. :-D
Amazing video!! I love the quality of your shots it truly is captivating! Plus that warning "snail on snail" was hilarious! Keep up the good work
Thank you and I will . . . :-)
WOw that was brutal! Great quality footage. Thank you for your work.
You're very welcome, thanks for watching the video.
Great work! The Close up shots are simply amazing.
Thanks a lot! :-)
Well that was disturbing BUT educational. Thanks for making the video!
You're very welcome!
what a fascinating snail, in a creepy and terrifying way
They really are the stuff of nightmares. . .
This has got to be one of the most informative and helpful videos ever! Amazing thank you
You're very welcome! I'm glad it was helpful.
Wow. Awesome photography and great job explaining the important details. Thank you for spending the time and efforts to make this educational video!
My pleasure! It's a labor of love.
Not really an assassin, is it.
Should be called a carnivorous torture snail.
I like that name !! I'm just happy to not be one of its victims. . . :-)
@@TheDave333 Awful table manners, if you ask me!
I think I’ve seen enough on RUclips to make my own science fiction movie...
I love RUclips ! It's the greatest show on Earth ! :-)
Hello The Dave, I just wanted to thank you for your work and efforts. I have learned so much with your close up footage and thorough explanations. I have a much better understanding of what is happening in my aquariums because of your videos. Keep up the good work!
Awesome, thank you so much!!! I love making them. :-)
Wow. Very informative, and the quality is top notch. Please make more vids.

Thank you for subscribing. I'll continue to do what I do. . . You just keep watching. 🎥😀🐟
Part of me wishes RUclips 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 RUclips and a ton of forum posts. Hopefully your next one will really show off how great mystery snails are 😁
" 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.
Thanks for checking out the video. Nature never ceases to amaze me, and it sometimes even makes me a little frightened. . .
Nature is brutal !
Incredible quality of filming and very educational. Subscribed for sure.
Thank you for your subscription and for taking the time to leave a comment. My videos usually take a very long time to create, so I don't post new videos frequently, but when I do. They're well worth watching. . . Please remember to hit the notification bell, so you can be alerted when I post a new video. Thanks again. :-)
Dave the quality of your videos is impeccable! I stumbled onto your channel by accident. National Geographic has nothing on you. Stunning cinematics, informative, I find it hard to believe RUclips's algorithm doesn't have you at the top of the list. Your a true credit to the hobby!
Thank you for the kind words. It's a labor of love. :--)
That's made me look at my assassin in a whole new light
The Assassin prefer to remain in the shadows. . .
Assassin snails are the Sasuke of the snail community
They really are!
I am amazed at the quality of this video. Was doing research to deal with a Ramshorn problem and this video came about and honestly I have never seen a more amazing video quality and substance wise on any topic. This is truly a work of art. I wish I could support you more to provide more content. Looking into what other videos you have now. Amazing!
Wow, thank you, and welcome to my channel. :-)
Wow, very cool video. Thank you for making it!
You're welcome. Thanks for checking it out.
Great work dave! Keep it up!
I will and thank you !
Amazing camera work, thank you
You're very welcome, thanks for watching.
Dude this video is strangely satisfying. Thanks for ur work :)
You're very welcome. :-)
Amazing Video! Quality explination, quality video, views kept in mind. Learnt everything I was searching for! Keep it up and I will be watching plenty of videos from here! This should have millions of views!!!
Thank you so much for watching the video and taking the time to leave a comment. Have a fantastic day! : -)
Amazing photography! What a fascinating video!!
Thank you. I'm glad you like the video. The ram's horn snails did most of the work. I felt so bad for them. . .
Super cool, and yet at the same time, what nightmares are made of. lol. Great work, love the shots and the explanations.
Thank you very much!
Wow amazing video and HD quality. Thank u! Fascinating yet kinda intense.
Thanks for watching. Nature can be very intense!!!
This is just so amazing, no audio just the video and clear depiction, fantastic!
Thank you! I love making these videos. . .
This is a cinematography level work of art
Thank you. Nature is amazing . . .
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👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you. It's hard work, but it keeps me happy. :-)
4th time I’ve seen this one Dave👍🏽 . I learn or see something new each time. Keep up the great work👍🏽
Awesome! Thank you!
Enjoyed this and gave a sub. Nature always makes great content, especially when you present it so well.
Thank you very much!
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.
Very educational-answered all my questions and more. Thanks!
Great to hear! Thanks for watching.
Wow that was a very well put together and very educating video thank you I definitely learnt from your video, keep up the great work
Glad you enjoyed it! :-)
You are doing an amazing job. Thanks for posting this. :)
Thank you so much! :-)
EXTREMELY well made video, well done! I just got an assassin snail and wanted to learn more and I've learned a lot!
Keep up the good work!
Awesome, thank you!
Fantastic video! Fantastic quality!
Just got my assassin snails, they are amazing to watch.
Thank you! I'm glad you like my work. :-D
@The Dave - Thank you yet again for another of your fabulous videos! This astounding footage with its attention to detail and the information you supply never ceases to amaze and keep me coming back to your channel. The intricacy of your work is second to none. I'm transfixed on every detail and frequently watch and rewatch all your videos. #No1fan #TheDave #KeepUpTheGreatWork
Hi! I thought I responded to this comment a week ago. Thank you very much for watching my videos and taking the time to leave such a wonderful comment. I really appreciate it. :-)
So far the best video about the Assassin snail. Thanks for the great content
You're very welcome.
Switched to higher resolution as indicated, amazing video! Congrats!
Awesome, thank you!
Im not even kidding, you are a great director sir! I am terrified of those snails now.
Thank you very much! Sweet dreams. . .
Excellent footage captured. This was fascinating.
Glad you enjoyed it
This is a really well put together video! Fantastic camera quality too!
Thanks a ton! I have more! 💜💜💜
Awesome filming. Better than some national geographic shows I have seen. I learned a lot from this video. Thank you so much for sharing it with us
Thank you again for the high praise, and welcome to The Dave.
The best Video of Assassin Snail i ever seen!!! Great!!
Thank you so much. I feel sorry for the ram's horn snails though. Did you?
Wow, your work leaves me speechless! I really love your videos and appreciate them a lot due to the fact that you show closely and in detail things i would've never seen or my eyes couldn't define even if I were to stare at it by really really close! I am amazed. Please keep up the hard work and I'm dying to watch new videos! I will promote your channel!
Thank you very much for the kind words. I appreciate your support. 😀
The video quality is so amazing, I literally don't know how it could be better. Bravo!
Wow, thank you!
I am now deeply disturbed.. thanks great video
You're welcome
That was one of the most disturbing yet interesting videos I’ve seen! Great content!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it !
I really appreciate ur work Dave. Keep it up 👍🏼❤️
Thank you! Will do!
I just found this channel. What magnificent photography. Looks like I'll be up late tonight! Thank you for your hard work!!
Welcome to The Dave! Enjoy the videos.
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.
Yes, you are right
Thanks for the video. Now I know why I saw lots of ramshorn snails empty shells.
I discovered this channel by coincidence. Unique and very beautiful recordings!
I am curious about the future videos :)
Bristlenose catfish and Angelfish are next on the list. My plan is to do a lot of the common stuff first, and then branch out into more obscure creatures. I have a lot of plans and a lot of fish. :-)
Amazing footage and material. Thx. I just bought these fascinating snails :)
Awesome! Thank you!
Your camera work is amazing!
Thank you!
This is both incredibly fascinating and way more terrifying than I expected
It's a good thing that they stay small. . .
That was superb... Real high quality stuff. Thank you for educating us in such a tasteful way.
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
Very informative... I dropped here out of curiosity, and vid did not disappoint wow!
Awesome, thank you! I have lots more, and all of my more recent productions use narration instead of text. :-)
ya know, on second thought, I won't be getting one of these
They're the jerks of the snail world. 🙂
I'm in love with your documentary !!
Thank you. Crazy snail!!!
This documentation is spectacular and very vivid. Great job!
Thank you so much!
