:banghead: Hey everybody....I have a pond snail problem and I am going to war on these things. I want to get a few yo yo loaches. I have a 75 gallon lightly planted with driftwood. My concern is I do have 2 good sized tiger nerites. Will the yo yos try to make escargot outta them?

They will indeed I found that out when I got a Nerite with my clowns, yoyo's might not but my Nerite didn't last a day
 
A Paradise fish will eliminate your snails, at least the one I had left no shell unturned.

If I saw a snail, I didn't see it again. And I originally wanted the snails and didn't know when I adopted it they were snail eating monsters.
 
Yep. My yoyos ate all snails including large mystery snails
 
Yikes!! Thanks guys and gals...I appreciate the info. I am going to rehome my nerites to another tank then. Thanks again for all the info!!
 
A lot of people buy pond snails on here to feed to their puffers, ramshorn the round ones you can squish with your fingers
