They are carnivores. Any meaty food such as bloodworms will be fine in the absence of pond snails and ramshorns for them to eat. I suggest getting a 5g just for the pond snails to breed so you can constantly replenish the supply for the assassins.

Anentome helena is the scientific name. Here are some more info.
