loaches

[CCchaos04]

I'm having a slight snail problem so i was wanting to add kuhli loaches to my tank. I have a 29 gallon tall with a pair of dwarf cockatoos and 5 male guppies. how many kuhlis should i add?

I'm not 100% sure but I was thought kuhli's didn't eat snails. Need something like clowns or yoyos

my kuhlis wont touch snails

clowns aren't a good idea, they would get too big for a 29g tank. There might be some other loaches that would work, I think there is a thread like this in the beginner section and someone recommended weather loaches.(?). I've also heard that you can put a piece of lettuce in the tank and let them gather on it and remove it in the morning. Have you gave that a shot?

well then could i get a couple clown loaches and when they get too big put them in my 75?

There would be too many to fit into a 75 gallon tank, IMO.

Get some yo yo loaches... Skunk loaches may be too aggressive for your tank.

Yo yo's are very active, and I have been told even better snail hunters than the clowns. They are some of my favorites.
