Can I use snail killers with plants? If it matters they are anubias nana and water sprite!

(i kno not very advanced but theyare just getting my community tank for more plants. soon to be a fully planted tank)

Yeh you can use loaches in planted tanks. A friend of mine has clowns, striata, dojo, tigers, sidthumunki, in his 150g and it's fully planted. Granted he can't grow hairgrass or other fine foreground plants....

clown loaches and yoyo loaches are great

well mine is a small lil 29gal(larger tanks house cichlids!) any small loaches i could keep that would get along with corys, hatchets, black skirt tetras?

just thought of it snail killers probably wouldnt work with the corys either!

snail killers as in copper aditives or fish? additives are last resort kinda things. they are very hard on plants and fish alike. get a pair of yoyo loaches

Snail killer=potato wedge, sunk overnight, pulled in the morning and thrown in the garbage.

really potatoe wedge? how does that work? how many hours?

Will yoyo loaches get along with my corys are they effective like all the other loaches?

It is never guaranteed that the loaches will do anything. The potato wedge left over night will cover in snails, and then pull it out snails and all.

i will have to try the potatoe wedge then! but i was getting used to the idea of having some loaches as long as i can find some that wont compete too much with my corys
