I've heard it said that, like many loaches, this diminutive member of the family eats snails. Does anyone have first hand experience of this or know it to be fact? Even molluscicide isn't working on the little blighters now...I hate snails
Thanks...I thought that might be the caseNo I'm afraid they don't eat snails I have 15 of them and I've never seen them look at a snail.
That's a good idea...I wouldn't mind returning them since I know the staff at my local Maidenhead Aquatics are pretty awesome dooods...the best kept livestock and pretty much everything else for miles.Get a little baby yoyo loach then return it when the deed is done
I returned two both over 4inch long. The shop now use them as tank busters, moving from tank to tank to deal with snail infestations.
If clown loach are happy and active they will make a right mess of your plants when they get to about 4-5", there are other better suited loaches
if you do keep clowns a group of 6-8 should be minimum and dont buy them if you think you'll take them back when they start doing damage
I'd love to have a nice planted home for my clowns
