Heir Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hey guys! A few quick questions I have to clear up a debate me and my friend are having... Do crayfish eat snails? Do borneo suckers/hillstream loaches eat snails? Do crayfish eat borneo suckers? Cheers! :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heir Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 haha well my arguement was that small crayfish and im talking shrimp sized lol would pose no risk at all... i think crayfish would eat snails and borneo's though which means i couldnt have them because i need some sort of algae eater in there and i like snails anyways haha. so maybe i will trial and error it. see who works with who and report back.

mj Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I had all of the above living in harmony for 2 months - my 4 borneos used to enter into my kouras cave and initially I used to panic thinking I would never see them again (as he attacks my other fish if they get too close) the koura would attack my snail (ramshorn I believe) if it got in his way - actually Robert (as I called him) would attack anything (even try and attack my ugly mug whenever i put my face near the tank) but it was more a defensive gesture (guarding his domain) than looking for food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heir Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I gave up the crayfish idea as i had one then it died then i got a new one and it died too. I've stuck with freshwater shrimps because they seem to live. I have 30 of the buggers now! real cute to watch them eat algae in the aquarium too...
