Re: Peaceful Snail Eaters (Pest Control Required)

I have had good success with Horsefaced loach and yoyo loachs on trumpet snails ,they don't mess with the other fish and are fun to watch.The horse face will disappear for days at a time when they bury them selves in the sand and they will try to fly so beware of that
