ok, I am looking at a loach for snail control. I would prefer a type that doesnt need others to be happy, and wont kill anything in the tank.
Tank includes 2 angels, small and medium, 1 small raphael, 1 large raphael, 2 ABFs, 6 cory cats, and TONS ok MTSs and ponds
Now, I need one that will eat snails, I dont care if it doesnt get them all, as long as it gets some, and at the least snacks on them. If it does get them all, that is fine too.
If it is a type that gets larger than 6 inches, I want a type where I only need 1, if it is smaller, it is ok if I have to get 2-3 of em
Some loaches bury through gravel/sand? If it does that, eats snails, and meets all other requirements, that is an added bonus.
BTW, current tank is a 29 gallon, 75 planned in a few months.
I am looking at the Tiger Loach, but it says semi agressive? Also, the khuuli loach I havent seen anything that says definitavely if they eat snails or not
Will a snail eating loach go after teh medium sized apples snails? (a bit over an inch in diameter) they can be moved if need be
