...unless you don't like fish having fins and possibly eyes....yes, i agree, dwarf puffers are terrible for community tanks.
Snail control?

Thanks for all the comments so far.
I really dont want to buy anything that will ultimately grow too big for the tank so I guess that rules the clowns out for me.
Do the dwarf loaches eat snails, or are Zebras and Yo-Yos as small as it gets in the snail eating capacity?
Also, found the other name for Yo-Yos. Over here they seem to be referred to as a Pakistani Loach.

foot & a half clown loaches? I never had any get that large..... then again I only had mine from infancy to a few years old. How many decades are we talking before they get that big?
i'm pleased that mordred is sensible enough to disregard those clown loach suggestions, as they get too large. i've never seen an 18" but have seen a few over a foot in size. they do take quite awhile to get THAT large, but IME they get to the 4"-6" range rather quickly, so having a trio (minimum) would fill up a tank fast anyway.
as for the dwarf loaches...i have no experience with them. if their genus (scientific name) is botia, i would venture a guess that they do eat snails.
