I was curious if mbunas would kill snails? Kinda thought it would be cool to have a couple if so which would be the best?
 
Not sure but I would try some nerites as they have pretty hard shells and stay small so they don't obstruct things. They also don't lay eggs above the tank like mysteries do.
 
I love nerites they are great little cleaners.

Probably thursday, I'm gunna go get some nerites. Probably about 10 of them if they have that many on hand.
 
Sounds good. Make sure they are alive/moving slowly when you get them. DOA snails suck... Also my LFS has 4 varieties so if you have that many, I would get them all. Tigers are my favorite and they tend to look pretty cool.
 
Mine love to attack snails. If they break shell they do eat the snails. But I've been breeding pond snails for a year now just for a tasty snack for them so maybe mine just gt used to it that way..
