Hi to all,

Two months ago I set a 200 litre coldwater planted tank. All I have are 40 White Clouds. Although I have been very careful not to introduce any snails or snail eggs, I am having an infestation of Ramshorn.

Can anybody suggest the best "coldwater snail-eating loach" (or any other species) that does not disturb the substrate (or damage the plants) and will not harass the White Clouds? I have 8 weather loaches in another tank - they enjoy disturbing the substrate and are not that good in controling snail population.

Many thanks.

Any suggestions please.......? :bowing:

.....or any other ideal fish for the job?

Tnx :sad:
 
Weather loaches are pretty much the only cool water loach I would recommend. If there are that many snails look into feeding the fish less food. Sounds liek the loaches will probably lead to more damage to the planted tank than snails ever would though.
 
Tnx guys,

Will go for the manual method........
