What kind of snails would be the best to feed my loaches???


I plan on setting up one of my 30 gal with snails and cherry red shrimp. I'm assuming the snails and shrimp can co-exist??! LOL
 
Get some MTS. They grow like weeds, your loaches will eat them. You can feed pretty much any kind of snail, but Apple Snails don't breed fast enough and cost money.
 
Thanks, ewurm!


I have a 10 gal with tons of snails I have gathered locally. They look like MTS. Do these guys only get like 1/2" to 3/4" ???

I was just just afraid to feed them to my loaches. I didn't want to introduce any diseases into my larger tanks.
 
Adult MTS can reach a cm. Inverts will hardly transmit diseases that can affect your fish.
