Have a school of 4 clown loaches, no more snails. Sure they breed
below the gravel, but dare one to wiggle out and it becomes a snack
for a clown. Funny watching the clowns suck out the snail, looks like
they are smoking a cigar.

Clowns are also very amusing and do a great job of playing dead.

Yes Clowns can get big, but my LFS said he'd pay big money for a large
clown loach. He said they are very slow growers.

Hi
I have Skunk Botia's, they eat snails and they are smaller.

Hello :

I bought quite alot of plants about a month and a half ago to start up my
new planted tank. Seems like there were some hitchhikers, as now my
aquarium is full of small (~5-8mm) snails. No idea what species, but they
leave the algae alone and love eating holes in the leaves of all my plants
(except the onion plant - go figure !).

Anyways, at some point in the past, I've seen someone post here about
species that love to sneak through the vegetation and pluck snails from
the
plants - and I want some ! What species was that ?

Thanks.

Shawn
