I added a pair of dwarf loaches to one and three to the other and the snails have almost completely disappeared. Dwarf loaches are the smallest loaches available but they are more expensive and less common than the zebra loach which should also do the job. I have found the dwarf loaches to be very well behaved and fun to watch. They have not disturbed the other fish in the tank at all. You can read more about them at Loaches Online (http://www.loaches.com/). Thanks, great site. More reading. "Bill Stock" wrote in message ... I started up a plant tank with some pond plants about five weeks ago. I've been doing this slowly, adding Trace Elements, C02, Macro Nutrients, etc. This past week the plants started looking pretty good, although I think my light levels are still too low (55 gal : 144 CF Watts). But now I have snails. Stagnant Pond Snails I think. Could these things take five weeks to hatch? I want to make this a Community Tank once I'm happy with the plants, so what tropical fish will eat the snails. I like the Clown Loaches, but they will grow too big for this tank. Do any of the smaller Loaches like snails, maybe a Yoyo Loach? |
