i dont really want clown loaches i want something that stays small maybe under four inches if possible. I also dont care if its a grouping fish or not. Also no brackish water fish. And if possible easy to find in most petstores not petsmart or other big stores but the small privately owned ones
Answers:
Try one of the skunk botias or striated botias, or chain botias. These all stay small and are known for eating snails. I have had very good luck with skunks and striated personally.
just put acouple scoops of aquarium salt in your tank . itll kill the snails and shouldnt hurt anything else,and will be gone in a couple water changes. not to mention its cheap.and realy any fish thats gona be a good snail eater is gona be a danger to any of yer other fish . good luck!
Botia loaches of all kinds are great for snail control. Look around your local places to see whats available and then do some research. Loaches range from cold water to tropical.
I have Striata Botia or Zebra Loaches, they like to school so I have a group of 5 and they do a great job controlling my MTS's and the fish are fun to watch :)
