If it's a breeding tank then why would you add fish? The only fish I would consider in that tank would be nano...cpds, chili rasboras, etc. Something that won't eat small snails, etc.

From my experience tons of fish wont eat them. I have a festivum, serverum, rainbows, farowela, cories that all leave them alone

I think there are many fish that would work with the snails, but the issue will be the size of the tank. A betta would work in there. Or a school of some smaller fish. White clouds, smaller rasboras or tetras. Endlers or guppies might work too, but they could quickly overpopulate the tank with fish....

rufioman certainly has the right suggestions for you......
you could consider the cpds, the chili rasboras (boraras brigittae) or boraras maculatis.
Perhaps some ember tetras, or endlers as has been suggesteed too.

If you find a fish that will eat them let me know because I'd love to get rid of the hundreds of ramshorns I have. lol

(tank is way too small for clown loach, community so can't do dwarf puffer)
