Can anyone suggest some suitable fish that will eat snails and also happily reside in my hard water aquarium? It's a community tank that is nearly cycled and I'd like some bottom dwellers that are partial to the odd munch on a snail as I seem to have plenty.
 
My Lionhead Cichlids (who adapt to hard alkaline pH) love snails, much to my surprise, which prompted an emergency evacuation of my Rabbit Snails out of their tank (one Orange Rabbit lost both antannae but thankfully these grew back) last year!

Which reminds me (yet again), I need to grab a load of those Pond Snails that are recently taking over the 620T and drop them in the Rio240 (for my Lionhead nursery/juveniles) and my 5-footer for my Weather Loaches and trio of older Lionheads...
