hi ,
what kind of tropical fish can I get that will eat snails but not my shrimp
please? I am overrun with little snails, but have read that loaches will eat them, but also my shrimp. any suggestions please?
 
What other fish do you have?
Also what size tank?
Assassin snails should do the job.

I have neon and headlight tetras, mountain minnows and harlequin raspboras. also, cherry, rice and orange shrimp. my tank is 125 litres. I have 5 of each species of fish. thankyou Nils,

Assasin snails it won't put to much of an additional burden on your bio load and after a time all you will see are empty pest snail shells.
