Chain loaches with nerites?

[fishie111]

Will dwarf chain loaches eat nerite snails? I'd like to have them in one of my tanks, but I don't want my nerites to get eaten.

Thanks!

How big are nerites?

Sounds like trouble to me.

Even if they couldn't get them, they would try too. ;)

I wouldn't try it. It would most likely end in disaster for the nerites...

I agree. Never underestimate the loaches. They are very smart fish and can attempt to bite the inner parts with their snouts.

I had some sulewesi snails in my 46 before I bought some sids. I moved the snails out, or so I thought before I added the sids. Later I found 2 dead snails (m t shells) that I had missed. And these snails were almost 3/4" long !! I would say definitely NO. Good luck.
