My tank has been having a snail problem, I dont want to use chemicals or kill them myself. I have looked into yoyo loaches and assassin snails but am worried they may hurt my red cherry shrimp or Mexican dwarf lobster. The tank also has Furcata rainbowfish, a clown pleco and a German Ram.
 
I agree with the dwarf chains. I can also assure you that the assassin snails won't hurt your shrimp. Shrimp are way too fast for them.
 
I was nervous because i saw some online pictures of assassin snails eating ghost and banded shrimp. Also how many dwarf chain loaches would i need? I read that they school.
 
When you say loaches? Not all loaches are the same you know. I have two Chain loaches and they are buddies. I would like a couple more but they're hard to find here. OS.
