Snails in tank.... didnt buy em (how did they get there?)

[1865]

they should be fine left alone. if you choose getting a loach i suggest a smaller type- yoyo or skunk- clowns can grow 10+inches, so that wouldnt work out!!!
goodluck!

I agree! My yo-yo's are hounds for snails. I was starting to get a really bad problem when I added them. The morning I put the yo-yo's in my 50 gallon I counted over 30 little snails in just a few minutes. 4 days later I couldn't FIND a snail in the tank. Plus yo-yo's are neat little fish, cool looking and lots of personality. My 3 are my favorite fish.

Ha! My pufferfish could outeat any loach in a snail-eating contest anyday!

If they can't suck it out, they'll break the whole darn thing! If they can't break the whole darn thing, they'll suck it out! Hahaha, if they can't do both, they sneak up on it and take it down!
