Yellow and black striped with a "horn" that appears when they're cruising around, right? I'm more familiar calling them assassin snails, as they will eat other small snails. However, none of mine ever have, as my ramshorn snails are still clogging up my tank

I keep mine about 70 degrees, in a well established tank, and I throw in some sinking pellets for them every few days. They're really very easy to care for. Good luck!

If they are assassin snails they actually do better at temps of 78 just like most tropicals. They could also be nerite snails.
