    Swing over to Seahorse Aquriums just off the Red Cow...

    You will need a damn sight more than 5-6 snails.

    Each assasin will eat 2-4 snails per day. So that's 10-24 between them all.

    Your pest snails will outbreed this by a long way.

    Better bet is to get some anyi-snail medicine for the tank, and just nuke it.

    I've been in that position before, and trust me, assasins wil help but will not cure it all.

    Sorry, i ignored your question.

    I'm just home from Seahorse aquariums. Plenty of assasins there, not sure on prices though.
