Tell me that wouldnt be a sick setup
Would I need sand for the Rafael Catfish and Loaches to burrow? Or could I just give them caves?
Not too bad as long as theres good filtration and maintenance. Also, Id worry about the snails surviving.
oh yeah the loaches...well arent Apple Snails a little bit big for Kuhlii Loaches?Pyramid_Party;2590834; said:
Raph Catfish may even hassle them but I dont know. I also dont know how dedicated loaches are when it comes to eating snails. So I cant tell you if they would be alright. I just know they may bother them.
Which golden apple snails are these exactly? Pomacea diffusa or Pomacea canaliculata? Canas tend to be more pushy when it comes to foods. Kuhlis will work fine with snails as will hillstreams and dojos. They're the only loaches that will work so far with snails.

ive had a spotted raph for a few years now. he's been in both sand and gravel several times over as i change my preference. he's always nice and fat, so im assuming they have no trouble finding their food in either substrate. just ensure he has a nice save or something to hide in
and know that raphael will more than likely outlive everything in your tank. read the 1st comment on http://aqualandpetsplus.com/Catfish,%20Raphael.htm
a guy claims he's had a raph for over 22 years now
im not sure of the species. These Snails that I saw in the LFS are about 2 1/2'' wide with a brown shell with some ridges over the shell. The flesh is kindof the color of apple flesh. Im pretty sure theyre Apple snails They are actually very fast for snails and i see them crawling up the glass, reaching the surface, letting go, floating for a few seconds, then burping out a huge air bubble and sinking. interestingly these snails never at any point pull into their shell, but hit the ground foot-doen and keep going. The thing is, the LFS keeps them with Carp, in cold water. Could I put it in the water suitable for the Loaches, Glass Cats, and Rafaels?Lupin;2591848; said:
