I seem to have the opposite problem in I can't keep snails alive in my
tank. Between my loaches and festivums, snails all gone. Every month
or so I add a few dozen to the tank and it is like the dinner bell goes
off. I think the festivums have taught the keyholes how to hunt them
too because lately they have been joining the fest!

Hi Vicki,

if you want to keep snails with your loaches, i have found a species
that manages to survive quite well( throught the fact that i have 6
hungry clown loaches in my tank ). Look up neritina natalensis. I
don't know what area you live in, but i heard from a contact that they
are illegal in the US....we get then all over the place here in Canada.
