Invasive snails vs my Kuhli Loaches

[Aetherbound]

I had a couple snails hitchhike on some plants given to me by my LFS and they now number about 15-20 and are all at or approaching pencil eraser size. They have been down in the sand the last couple days so my question is, are they competing wit and denying my 7 small to medium sized Kuhli Loaches food?

i wouldnt imagine they could out-compete the loaches,and im surprised they didnt eat the snails. my yoyos rip apart any snail they find

The bottom dwelling fish will almost always find the food before the snails do. They cover much more room, much faster.
