Clown Loach And Snails

[smithy05]

hi whats a good snail cheap to buy and breeds fast?? as i have a clown loach and wanna give him a treat throw handful of snails in every week, the ones he dont get straight away will keep down the algae so i get 2 jobs in 1, loach treats and gravel cleaners LOL, thought of apple snails but they quite big wot u lot reckon???

Forget the snails and take the loach back to the shop asap.

It'll waste away on it's own and the tank is FAR too small for a fish that gets over a foot long.

They need at least 55gals minimum, but usually more like 80gals+ because they like to be in groups;

You should rehome yours if you do not plan on getting a very large tank anytime soon .
