Re: [GSAS-Member] snail eaters

So the opaline gourami's letting me down in that tank, I guess. Or maybe just 
too many snails for him to keep up with.

Anyone have any luck with cories and loaches in the same tank? I'm worried that 
introducing loaches might mean they'd be competing with the existing cories for 
ground space.

I guess that leaves me with assasin snails as the best option. Anyone have 
extras? Or a connection somewhere?

(Thank you everyone for the replies!)
