do Kribs eat snails?

Never kept kribs, but my apistos (very similar) do eat baby ramshorns and common pond snails. Once they reach a certain size they can't eat them though. The MTS on the other hand don't seem to go through the vulnerable "thin shelled" stage that other snails go through. In my planted 10g MTS are the only "baby" snails I see, and consequently this species has outcompeted the other snails since thier babies are constantly being picked off by the fish.
Kribs will munch on snail eggs and are generally very adept at keeping snails away from their own eggs and general breeding territory.
