I just had ramshorn snails kill two ancistrus fry in the egg yolk stage. I'd been watching them hatch and become wrigglers, had shooed a couple tiny snails off the one not quite hatched but they came back a few minutes later and they had eaten part of the yolk sack on the one fry and it was dead :-O pretty sure they've killed both of them. Such small snails, I had no idea they would do that.
