![]() Most loaches are quite peaceful and do well in community tanks. Loaches are gregarious, and if possible, should be purchased in groups of 6 or more With so many species to choose from, no matter what size aquarium or type of fish you own, there is one just right for you. They make an excellent match because they spend a lot of their time hiding and looking for food in your tank’s substrate. However, there is one clear loach winner: Kuhli loaches. Kuhli loaches: There are a number of Loaches that might work with your Betta fish Like Dwarf loaches and the rare Panda loach. ![]() These are not very easy to keep and the biggest fish on the list. Do loaches clean tanks?Ĭlown Loaches will be everywhere in your tank scavenging for food They’ll sift the substrate, sneak behind little decorations, and generally do a great job picking up the messes. There should be no less than 5 individuals in your group, but between 6 and 8 is ideal Try to keep an even number if you can. Yoyo Loaches are shoaling fish that should be kept in groups of around 6.

Cory Catfish do not eat alive adult snails Only if these fish are starving, they will try to eat alive snails.

What fish eats pest snails?įrom what I’ve read and heard, your best option is adding either Dojo or Yoyo loaches All these fish are part of the botia family and love to eat snails. So far the golds zebra haven't caused any problems (the ones in the 120 started at an inch and are probably just over 2 inches but very narrow - I guess they have another 4 to 8 months to mature so not sure if their behavior will change when they get older - one of the zebra has learned to follow the gold zebra around (i.e, not run and hide) but that one was always a bit different than the other 4 I have.Loaches, betta fish, pufferfish, assassin snails, and crayfish are predatory creatures that will eat bladder snails. Is this normal difference in behavior between the loaches or just an unusual behavior of the ones I have (when I feed the angels the gold zebra sez food time and come join but the clowns sez intruder time to hide). The clowns and zebra almost never come out of hiding 'cept when I feed em bloodworms but the gold zebra have been teaching them how to be a bit bolder. Unlike the other loaches they have no problem swimming at the top of the tank and eating flakes or 'schooling' with the guppies or whatever they can find swimming. ![]() ![]() The reason for this post is these guys are very active (compared to my clown and zebra loach) and lack total shyness. ![]() The 3 in the 29 are currently about an inch (when they get to about 1.5 inch I'll put them in with the other 4 in the 120). In both cases I've purchased them fairly young (maybe just under an inch). Anyone have experience with gold zebra loach? If so how do yours behave ? I have 3 in one tank and 4 in another (I had 5 but one never grew and eventually died). ![]()
