My clowns found them to be a tasty treat. How big is the tank? other smaller loaches such as botia striata will eat snails and they only grow 4 inches max.

HI,

40 gals is too small for clowns. I paid 2.95 each for my zebras, there are loads of other loaches that stay small. Have a look on www.loaches.com for others.
