His biggest fish in that tank would have been 7".Don't ask me what type I'm not an african expert.American cichlids do it for me.Usually the fish left them alone ,a couple of times I saw one nudge a snail ,the snail would just drop off the glass to the bottom but would soon be going again.
Remember that sand is a natural substrate in ponds, etc, so I think it is very likely your catfish ate them. Many catfishes do this, to begin with. What kind of cats were they? They are also sensitive to water quality.
Green - Interesting about the Cichlids. You aren't the first to say that Africans didn't bother the snails... HMMMM... American Cichlids do it for me, too - and they do bother snails big time! lol

I agree,I couldn,t see them lasting long with americans.My mate finds it hard to believe that I can't mix fish like he can.His tanks are real communities in a confined area compared to an American setup.
Ramshorns are very tough snails. They do need a good amount of trace elements in the water though.
