snail bomb

Ok, so this morning we went to feed our guppies and noticed somewhere between 10-20. Snail about true size of a pea (probably smaller) the thing is last night we only had one. I had heard that clown loaches would keep them under control, but I can't remember if they would be good with the guppies. We also have zebra danios in there, and some live plants. Idk if this is miscategorized, if so let me know or move it

Clown Loaches work well . They tend to eat the smaller ones and you will have to remove the large ones.

clown loaches do get big, but from what ive seen given enough food and enough things to play with, they are generally peaceful and wont bother anything in the upper levels of the water column. if you are overly concerned about that just get deep bodied tetras to act as mid tank buffers

also quit hatin on snails XD. dey yo fwiend, dey aint hurtn nobuddy.

LOL

well, we got one, hopefully he won't kill them all, if he's to aggressive surely he'll work in one of our tanks lol

XD not a good idea to keep loaches/botia in singles you need a group of em or else they get agitated and depressed.

dang man, you shoulda tole me that before, how many more should we get? will 1 or 2 more do it?

they are very playful and need at least 3. but keep in mind how big they get. how big is your tank? if its not tht big get yourself some kuhli or yoyo loaches. clowns can reach 10inches and are thick bodied.

The tank is 55 galllons and right now its loaded with guppies. We do have some room if we decide to move the loach into another 55, which we have extra tanks now just waiting to get them setup and cycled. The loach does seem to be moving a lot this morning though. and doesnt seem to have a problem with the other fish around..... SO FAR

I have 5 in with my LF ABN's and Sterbai Cory. They don't bother any of them , even the baby LF ABN's in the tank. Snails are now gone in that tank so I am going to move them to another tank that needs snail eradicated .

yeah, I almost want to spread them just so we can keep him busy lol, but I won't.....yet...
