Loachs

Do any louchs eat snails that r in your tank ....

I think a Clown Loach considers them a food source, probably othe loaches would too if they fit in their mouth's okay.

I bourght some sails that were bigger and they got eaten and the smaller that is there now is not eaten

 

[jetajockey]

loaches are definitely snail eaters.

I wouldn't buy snails, especially not to feed my fish !
Maybe the loaches are smart and waiting for the small snails to become a bigger mouth-ful !

Be careful that they are store bought snails specifically for consumption and not snails that grew in your tank from poor water conditions as those will hurt your loaches.

i have a clown loach and it loves snails of all kind
if you feed it flakes then you might have a tuff time

if you feed less flakes it would search for snails
but they are night hunters so you might wanna
turn of the lights so the killing spree is not seen on tv

snails always come in plants
i bought a few plants from my lfs's and well some came
with snails when i thought this was a problem
i made a deal with my lmpfs they said if i got a clown loach
from them i was able to return it once it out grew my 48 gal tank
so far its 5 inches and its still eating snails
