Hi Guys.

 

I have pest snails in my 10 foot frontosa tank. ( http://www.perthcich...=61704&p=354265 )

 

Im thinking of dropping in a few adult Clown Loaches to deal with these snails.

 

Do you think Clowns will be OK given the Frontosas to water conditions?

 

Or do you have another way of dealing with snails in a natural manner? Id rather not use any chemicals.

 

Thanks y'all.

What sort of snails mts or rams horn

Eeltail cats clean up snails and like pH 8.5

Clown loaches will be fine with the frontosa

You could even get some Chilotilapia rhoadesii, they eat snails and if you can breed them even better.

I honestly don't know the difference or which is which.

But I do like the fish you suggested.

Do you know of anyone in Perth selling them?

Clown loaches will be fine. I used to have them with my Moba until the non Tang part of them got to me lol.

Yeah I'm afraid of that too that's why I'd like to get some of the rhosdesii

[Chopstick_mike]

I've fm heard hippo pts also eat snails but again not tangs but closer to them than clowns water parameters wise

[kassysimon]

That's a good option if I can't get rhidesii
