danilada Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I have a 140L guppy tank, and snails are having a feild day in there. By adding Kuhli Loaches, do you think they will eat the snails? or will they eat my important fry? I have in the tank, 3x albino corys, 2x albino GBA Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinsonMassif Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 From what I have read and IME Khuli never eat snails. Yo-yo's and Zebra loaches do until they grow to be lazy adults You could add a snail trap. A bottle with some food inside, leave it over night and empty out the snails the next morning. Repeat ad nauseum lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitzy Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I think clown loaches eat snails but might eat the babies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loopy Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 dunno about the snails but kuhlis will eat your guppy fry. Used to have kuhlis in my swordtail breeding tank until i saw my babies getting sucked up like noodles. No wonder the kuhlis were so fat and happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
