I read the snail safe sticky, but have questions about khuli loaches and baby snails. I see the khulis digging like mad in the gravel, where there seems to be a ton of baby snails. Will a khuli eat a baby bladder or ramshorn snail? I'm asking because I just don't see many young snails in the tank.

There are also spotted cory cats in the same tank. Neither fish bothers adult snails.

I'm also curious as to how easy it is to keep gammarus shrimp/scuds. Just set up an 8g for invertebrates, and am curious if these will quickly take over the tank. There are currently only snails and a few scuds in the tank, which is planted with a variety of live plants.

They eat very small snails and it is part of their natural diet. Bottomline, snails are good for them and they love them to death-literally!
