I hate snails. I have had major problems and thought I had gotten rid of them but they somehow came back on something. But my zebra loaches love to chase them down and eat them, with some help from my kuhli loaches so I have let them stay, the only down side is I have black gravel and now a lot...

I run a 3 tier cascade in my 55 gallon and never had any problems with it.

I changed out my 25 gallon tank from gravel to sand last month, I had been reading that it was better for cories and that tank has 5 little green cories. (Other fish are 5 X-ray tetra and about 7 lemon tetra) and I was having a big snail problem. I am lucky that I had a 10 gallon tank not being...

My 25 tank has these cute little green cories. My 55 tank has the regular white cories. For about 2 months I had just one zebra loach. And I couldn’t find any more in Denver. It just bonded with my cats and followed them everywhere.I worried and worried but I knew the biggest cat would chase it...

Well the kuhli loaches are now in the 55 tank. But I alternate food. Brine shrimp, frozen blood worms ( I have dried and frozen, I would think the frozen would be more nutritious (?)repashy, bug bites, pleco formula bug bites ( my zebra loach loves these) mini sinking algae wafers maybe no...

I have 4/5 kuhli loaches, 6 cories and 4 zebra loaches in my 55 tank, no problems. It does have plants and driftwood and the kuhli loaches don’t come out often during the day. The zebra loaches and cats get along fine. The rest of my fish are various tetras. After reading the other posts I...

I have three kuhli loaches in that tank and I don’t know that the eat snails, I have them because I like loaches. I would have a larger group if the tank was larger. I change out the hiding places, when one is covered with snails I take it out and put in the one that isn’t. (Put the covered one...

Thank you for all the help, I have taken out all the plants. I don’t know what kind of snails they are - just the little brown ones. I have decided that emptying the tank probably wouldn’t be a good idea. Some are so small they would just slip by. I am not sure about the assassin snails I will...

I have three tanks. A 55 gallon, a 25 gallon and a 10 gallon. I have mostly different types of tetras in them with different cat fish and loaches. Except the 10 gallon which has a betta.

Saving the fish of course and the water. I have a 25 gallon tank that I am tired of pulling snails out of. I would replace all filter material and gravel.
