Re: [GSAS-Member] Snail Dilemma

I've got one tank with 8 Botia sidthimunki and I have noticed that they
don't handle the larger snails well. They do seem to be holding the MTS
population in check, although the larger pond snails and ramshorns are
untouched. Maybe if I stopped feeding the loaches they'd take on the big
snails (wink).  I wish they'd eliminate the MTS totally like the Botia
striata in another tank have done (whew)! They did dig up the substrate
quite a bit to do so though!
