Is my clown loach going to eat my mystery snails?

The 3 of them are pretty big, but I wanted to ask anyway. Also, is he eating my MTS? I can't tell for sure, but I sure don't see them around. And what about my ramshorns? There is at least one that I see scooting around that he hasn't gotten to yet, but I wonder if he's already gotten the smaller ones. Am I not going to be able to keep snails alive in this tank with him around? I love him, but if I can't keep snails, he may need to be rehomed. Or maybe I'll put a blue crayfish in instead of snails. What about shrimp, will he eat them too?

Thanks!

You are everywhere! LOL I keep seeing that the blue crays are really slow and can't really catch fish. I probably wouldn't mind the Loach eating my snails, except that I want the snails in there to keep the sand stirred up. Arrrghhh, prolly gonna have to give the little guy up. Phooeey

Need to just get some shrimps and snails ordered for my lil 10 and then I'll be happy.

I know the cause of MTS - desire to keep too many different species. Now what is the cure? :dance2:

well, for now, I actually find tank maintenance relaxing, so if that doesn't change......

but next up, we've got our SW project, so that should keep me busy for a good long time!

I took him out yesterday. Took me 2.5 hours to catch him and the 4 chinese algae eaters I was also removing from my community tank. I like my snails, even the little bitty ones, so in spite of being pretty, he's being rehomed. My neighbor is going to take him.

Thank goodness he hasn't hurt my golden, blue or black mystery snails! They're so big, I really didn't think of him bothering with them until just recently, I'd noticed him nosing around them and they'd duck into their shells really quickly.

I've had to rethink my community a bit and I removed 7 fish yesterday. I've got 2 more that will be coming out. They're just tetras though, no danger to my snails.

I added in some amano shrimp tonight! I'm hopeful they'll clean up my plants for me. I've got a gorgeous bamboo shrimp I just put in yesterday too. He is VERY active and cool!

Now, where can I find some of those magenta & pink snails?
