would yoyo loaches hurt my black khuli loaches?

[Prometheus]

i like yoyos and i want some fish that will kill off my snail population in the khuli's tank, should i be worried about aggression or will the two species get along together just fine? i really love my little khulis and dont want to see them get mauled by some brutish other fish.

Personally its not a mix I would like to have, its not that the yoyo's are really aggresive but they like lots of space and can be a bit to boisterous for the Pangios, zebras (botia striata) would mix ok with the pangios.

are you talking about these guys?

Yeah thats them, nice fish and pretty placid, your other option would be just the pangio's and add a couple of assasin snails to get rid of the probelem snails

haha that's really funny that you mention that... i had a couple of anentome helenas and they couldnt curb the MTS population... even after half a year. there really is quite a few of them. im gona go with the loaches, i like loaches anyway. oh, and dont worry, the helenas and my nerites have been moved to a pico of their own so they wolnt become loach food
