Snail-eating snail/Predatory snail

The Anentome Helena is an ideal cleaner of snails, often this snail is not visible because it hides in the sand waiting for another snail.

When there are enough feeder snails available, Anentome helenas can start breeding; the eggs of these snails look like a kind of square package.
The Anentome Helena's eat an average of 1 snail per day.
They breed when there are at least 2 in 1 aquarium and when there is sufficient food available.
