Have you actually seen a Botia kubotai (aka angelicus) actually eating a
snail? I have a couple of little ones (1.5") in my 20g hoping they'll
eat the snails there.

Truth be known, I've never seen any of my botias eat a snail ;-) But snail
population crashes occurred whenever I drop them into a tank.

As for what my LFS sells as angelicus .... it isn't a kabotai.... after
checking loaches....
Maybe histrionica or rostrata came out of a tank labeled angelicus
