Looking At Loaches

[stackem evs]

Hi, Got a well planted tank and whatever we do the snails just never quit. Looking at a shoal of small loaches, chain/dwarf loaches come to mind.
Thoughts?

How big is the tank and what else it in it?

A burgeoning snail population is usually attributable to over feeding. Cut back the feeding and likely nature will take it's course. Also to the extent that you are purchasing live plants for your tank, you may want to investigate the bleach bath process to "execute" the potential little hitch hikers on the plants.
