getting rid of snails?

[austinpetemo]

if you buy a DP everyone knows that he will eat the snails. but that may not be the safest thing for your tank considering that it is an agressive fish and can rip up other fishes fins.

Yes it does depend on the size of the tank, and whether the OP would like to keep one or not. I am sure that the OP will consider such fundamentals. Also remember that Clown Loaches take a very loooooong time to grow large, and can remain under 3 inches for a couple of years in a modest sized tank.

Also small loaches can do the job. I had two small CLs gang up and kill a Malayan snail on the first day I put it in there (not anticipating that outcome, of course). The snail was at least as large as they were!

I am quite sure that loaches do not view the activity as 'janitorial duties', but are utterly delighted to find themselves in a Garden of Fishy Eden.

Yes, it's just that the OP might not want to have to buy a 150g for a school of clowns in a few years.

I support the veggie idea, you can freeze them or give them to someone who wants them.
