Poly Tank Mates

[Dr.B]

so i have been dealing with a mayor snail problem in my poly tank. I Cut there feeding to every 2-3 days. I've tried crushing the ones i see.....etc..., i was wondering if any other fish out there could maybe assist me with this problem. I have looked at tiger barbs and red-tails sharks not specifically for snails but that they will help clean up the extra food. (not saying thats all i'm going to feed them) but i was wondering if i should wait and try something else or i should rethink my fish choice. I just want the snails gone they are every where. Thanks for the advice

Bichirs aren't eating them? If you can get your hands on big Clown Loaches you will be in good shape.

 

[Dr.B]

how big of a clown loach?

 

[JamesF]

Big enough to not get eaten by the bichirs. They should be in groups, so make sure you have enough hiding spots and a big enough tank.

Idk if loaches r the way to go I have a 9" palmas palmas the loaches would be a treat at best. The only clown loaches I can find around here r the ones at petsmart and petco at 3-4"

something ate all the malasian trumpet snails in my tank. if the bichirs didnt do it then it was a black ghost knife.

 

[Dr.B]

sooo would tiger barbs or red tail sharks take care of the problem?

The tiger barbs in my 60 dont do crap about snails unless I squish them
