Snails In Me Discus Tank Mate!

[c-dub]

Hi all,

In my discus tank I just notices some little snails on my anubais! NOOO!!!

Currently I have in the tank:

Discus, Angels, BS Plecos, Cardinals and Rummynose...

Will any of these fish take care of the snail problem for me? Clown Loaches and Puffers are the only ones I know of that go after snails but can't add them to the tank due to water temps etc.

Give us a hoy if you think of anything!

Thanks mate, I don't think Clown Loaches will do well in that heat though. The tank is about 32 degrees Celcius and Clown Loaches only like a tank up to about 28 as far as I'm aware!
