- BEST and EASIEST way to remove All pest snails! 100% GUARANTEED!
This is a very easy method or removing any pest snails in your aquariums which can especially be a problem in planted or aquascaped aquariums.
The snails in this example I believe are bladder snails although pond snails do look very similar.
Yo-yo loaches are also known as Pakistani loaches. They should be cared for as much as any other fish but they love munching on snails!
Let me know if you have had any success ridding your tanks of a snail infestation and how you went about it please.

I had a snail problem and watched your video and went looking for Loaches particularly the Yoyo, however, not easily located in Fish Stores in America, so, I decided to go with 3 Skunk Loaches, they are about an inch + and they went to town on the snail population and it has been a full on GENOCIDE! Thank you for putting me onto Loaches mine will only be about 4 inches when full grown. AWESOME! this changed everything!
That’s awesome that you managed to solve the snail problem! I dint realise you wouldn’t be able to find yo-yo loaches in America but I’m glad you found an alternative. Will be handy for any American viewers to see your comment 👍🏻
Found them listed as Botia lohachata, Lohahchata loach, Pakistani Loach. Will the dwarf loach annialte pond snails? I keep nano fish.
I got 4 clown loaches a couple years back and they've done the same thing. I tried assassin snails, chemicals, manually removing them and every other method I could think of, but the loaches were the answer. I honestly love them. They're beautiful, and they've become so used to my presence that they have learned how to beg for food. I know that sounds insane, but I don't know how else to characterize synchronized dancing at the glass whenever it's been a bit long between feedings. Of all the fish I've had, these guys have been the best surprise.
Glad you enjoy them. They are usually overlooked fish, but they do a brilliant job. And I think they look great as well
Wow! They attack like crazy! 😂 I have 2 loaches too and they make this ‘clicking’ sound I thought my aquarium is ‘cracking’ 😂 but its the loaches eating snails ! A very good fish for controlling snails! 👍
Thanks for the support 😁
Zou willen weten hoe groot deze vissen worden, kunnen ze bij alle vissen in een gezelschap aquarium. Ik heb zoveel slakken in mijn 4 aquariums.
They don’t get too big, a medium sized fish.
WOOOOOOAH you could rent those HEROES out. Now I have seen them in action with my own eye's they are a TOP FISH to keep. Thanks for the heads up, take care my friend 👍😷☝️
Undeniable proof right there! Let me know how you get on.
Your enthusiasm and personal sense of joy and amazement is better then the actual content. Thank you 🙏🏽
I’ve got major snail problem...tried everything cleaned the tank and filters out several times but they keep reappearing. Will try these guys out and see thank for sharing!
Well I hope I’ve proven it for you in the video. Let us know how you get on! ❤️
I have 2 nice sizer yoyo fish and my 75 gallon cichlid tank is overun with snails they continue to multiply help?
Bro do they eat the larva of the snail too??
i like the bladder snails for their ability to clean the tank better than anything else i had. even nerite snails and otocinculus. But they multiply like no tomorrow. 1 becomes 100 in 30 days. i didn't use loaches but i got an assassin snail and they dealt with them very effectively for population control. they don't hunt as much as loaches meaning the bladder snails stuck around to keep cleaning, but they never got out of control. and Assassin snails don't multiply quickly so they never became a problem. they're non hermaphroditic so if you just get 1, it'll never breed and mulitply making them, for me anyway, the perfect bladder snail control.
Awesome comment. Yes the assassin snails are good for control. These loach are better if you want them gone completely
Did they eat ramhorn snails too?
I didn’t test that. If you find out let me know
Aye, those Yo-Yo's sure like them snails. I'm now convinced most loaches are French. Oui, Oui... Escargot. 👍
Oh yes! 😂
I was going to grow a beard.
Just couldn't get it off the ground.
So I ordered one on eBay.
It took 3 months to arrive.
I did complain but they told me..
Customers have to be patient because they come all the way from bristles 😬
Awful 😂
Hitting that like button JUST for the 'Best Beard' award :) Thanks for the video. Great info. I hate snails too!
Cheers buddy! I think it’s true anyway haha!
Hey, great video! I have a severe snail invasion in my 20 gallon, and I have always wanted to get some form of loach to take care of em for good but always thought theyd eat my cherry shrimp, are the yoyo loaches safe with them in your opinion? If so ill go pick up a couple
My larger shrimp were fine but of course they had plenty of snails to eat. I would keep an eye on them though just in case
Kuhli can't live in 10 gal correct? I have a huge bladder snail infestation in my Betta's heavily planted 10 gal. Egg clutches all over the tank, manual removal is keeping them at par.. but not fully taking care of them.
One could temporarily, do you have a bigger tank to move it to once it has finished with the snails?
Haha I bought 3 yoyo loaches for this reason.. Next day I already saw 1 teasing snail around tank. Didnt seen any snails since then...
Awesome news! All the snails are gone?
Ive got these random small brown snails I'm assuming they're pest/pond snails & they hide in my decor & getting in my filters. Ive cleaned everything numerous times & still see them. The bigger ones love my artificial plants i absolutely hate them. I recently took out everything from my tank & left the reg community fish & sand inside. Barley see anymore. Going to get loaches tomorrow thank you for this video.
Did you get some?
I'm sure they will eat the shrimp eventually like clown loach do.
Smaller shrimp I would agree
Did the yoyos ever eat the shrimp? I have cherry rili shrimp and was told the yoyos will eat them. Yours seemed okay!
Well they certainly never ate the larger shrimp. And I always have babies growing on. I couldn’t say 100% they didn’t snack on the odd tasty baby shrimp but not that I noticed anyway.
but they will eat shrimps' and shirmps kids aswell ??????
What?
Yeah I found these fcks today in the filter, 0 in the tank though, yoyo loach for the win
Nice one!
Sorry. The Prime Time Aquatics dude has the best beard.
What! I’ll have to check it out
Yoyo didn't do a thing for me. Still on the search for a fix. Pretty soon gonna tare the tank down.
Perhaps you’re feeding them too well? Leave them hungry for a bit and their natural instincts will kick in
Didn't see the video on if they would eat mystery sanils or not can you tell me if are safe I have a few big ones and a infestation of blatter snails
I’m not 100% but I think they would eat smaller mystery snails. Can you move the mystery snails to another tank or tub for a few days and let the yo-yo loaches deal with the bladder snails
I have shrimps in my tank.. wil this eat shrip also.. please sujjest
I think it would yes
Will the loaches eat baby cherry shrimp too?
I think they will yes
I have two large yo yo loaches in my tank and I still get lots off snails.
Maybe you’re feeding them too much?
I'm from India. I have shrimps in the tank. Is it safe to add these loaches?
No need to answer. Got the answer in the comments. Well I have to search for other option!
Glad you sorted it!
I had a snail infestation in a cold water tank. The fish parasite cure from Maidenhead aquatics wiped them out.
It warns on the label not snail safe and they weren’t kidding ! It took about five weeks but did no harm to the medaka and I haven’t seen a snail since !
Brilliant. I find they normally come in on plants. Once my plants are snail free and established I take cuttings to then use in my other tanks
Shrimp safe?
@@Boss-zo4lw I couldn’t say. I don’t have shrimp.
so wild to watch them actually do it! suck the snails out of the shell.
Yea was fascinating to see!
The worst ones for me were the gyraulus snail, they’re tiny and jam up filters pumps and sponges
My assasin snail is what keeps them at bay for me
I dont think I’ve had those
Major pest man, tiny little fuckers and they can overrun tanks
Did you ever test them with the none pest snails?
No they cleared up my problem though
Will the loaches eat my nerite snails?
I’m not sure, let me know please
I have bladder snails in a tank with white clouds, cherry barbs and African dwarf frogs. I'm letting them go for a bit because I'd like them to clear up my algae before getting assassin snails. My question is whether a yoyo loach will bother my small frogs and whether a loach needs warmer than room temp if I want to remove him from the problem 29 gallon tank of small fish and put him in a 55 (soon upgraded to 75 gallon tank) with 7 5-8" goldfish.
I would not mix these loaches with goldfish. Perhaps the assassin snails will be your best option?
@@Mountain_Aquatics Okay. I got the loaches and they're reduced the snails by 50% in less than 2 days. I'll wait until the goldfish are in the 75 gallon and make them the clean-up crew for (this is my current idea) a betta sorority in the 55.
I’m glad they are doing a good job for you! Make sure you leave them in there long enough to clean U.K. the inevitable baby snails that will hatch out after the adults are gone. Keep me updated
I must be the only one who wants more snails lol
Until they over run your tank eating all the plants you paid for and leave shit all over the floor causing a massive ammonia spike. And if you dare cut back feeding they’ll die off causing an ammonia spike. They’re beautiful I love them but i wish I never ever got any to begin with. I went out of my way to find beautiful rams horns and I regret it so much lmao.
Will they eat the shrimp 🤷🏼♂️✌️🙏🇨🇦
I think they would eat the little ones yes
@@Mountain_Aquatics thanks I wish I would have seen your video before I added 6 more shrimps 🤷 learn the hard way Maybe I’ll take out the aggressive beta ✌️🇨🇦
I have some Ramshorn and Assassin Snail, will they get eaten by yoyos too?
Oh I’m not sure I haven’t tested it
Thanks for the reply!
Loaches also nibs fin of fish
Some loaches can yea
I bought 4 yoyos & they don't appear to be at all interested in the snails. My tanks are heavily planted so I'm hoping that maybe they are eating in private & getting the eggs & newly hatched babies, leaving the slightly older ones.
Maybe that’s the case. And maybe they aren’t hungry enough if you’re giving them plenty of food?
what is the fish name
It is a yo-yo loach
Because of randomly finding you and having an invasion in my 100 gallon tank of snails, I got 5 tiger loaches and I kid you not, 7 days not one snail in site! My clown loaches would too but not as fast as my tiger loaches.
Brilliant news 😁 make sure you subscribe and look at my other videos and you might get some more tips. Thanks for the comment
2 Dwarf Chain Loaches solved my problem snails in 24 hours!
Having too many snails might be a sign that you put too much food in the tank. Less extra food, less snails. No need to kill them all, they re useful.
Don't they eat your plants though ?
@@Boss-zo4lw they don t seem to do so in my tank.
This is not always the case. The snails can eat algae so even if you are feeding exactly the correct ammount, they can still multiply like crazy, especially in a new tank going through imbalance and algae battles.
From where they comes in my acquarium🤔 i dont know about them
Plz suggest me what i should do
What do you mean?
I found 5 to 6 small snails in my aquarium, i dont know from where they came in my aquarium
Did you add any new plants? Sometimes they are on eggs in the plants
I brought some stones from the Ganga river, I put them in the aquarium
Can you put loaches in guppy tank?
Yes but keep an eye on them just in case
@@Mountain_Aquatics thanks for the reply. Appreciate it
100%. correct Jamie, Yo-yo will absolutely eradicate snails and a top fish to have in the tank if you have this issue. I currently have 3 with 1 quite gravid at the moment if you need more👌
You are hoping to breed them? That is very interesting. I dint think I have even seen their fry before. They are stunning fish
Not intentionally…sent the pics to TBR and he agreed…quite gravid. Time will tell but if you are interested in 3 more they are yours Jamie no cost
@@simonwood1542 I might take you up on that. They are cracking fish 👍🏻
@@Mountain_Aquatics no problem
I’ll take some!
Diversity creates healthy environments, the lack there of creates issues. in human terms the lack of diversity of thought makes us blind to anything outside what we find relevant. In accordance to your water feather you will see the results in due course unless you swap the snails for a larger water filter. lol
Get a jam jar put cooked broccoli in it put it in the tank leave it for a day or so and it will be full on snails. Take it out and repeat until all the snails are gone 🙂 simple 👍
A very long process. And you’d have to wait for the eggs on the tank to hatch and grow and then get them before they lay eggs. These fish just do it all the time for food
@@Mountain_Aquatics well it worked for me I cleared the snails in 8 days then repeated it in 6weeks job done total time 1.5hrs in time a jam jar & half a broccoli head total cost 50p.
What about if you have Plecs in your tank, won’t they eat the Broccoli 🥦 I’ve got four Bristle nose.
Great video I will definitely follow this advice
Let me know how you got on
I got one but he didn’t eat any snails. I have him for about two months. I also have 4 snail assassins and still doesn’t help. The loach also ate my 4 shrimps 😢
Are you feeding him as well?
@@Mountain_Aquatics Yes. When I feed the rest of the fish he eats a LOT, so I guess it makes sense that he's not eating snails since he's always full? I'll try to feed the rest of the fishes bit less as well so I don't overfeed, but I don't know what is the right amount, I don't want them to starve. What do you recommend me to do?
I’ve just got back from a week long holiday and my fish weren’t fed once. And the tanks looked cleaner than ever! Don’t worry, fish do fine for a few days without food. They will find plenty in the tank, and this should include your loach getting a taste for snails 😉
@@Mountain_Aquatics Ok, good to know. I was feeding them once in the morning and once in the evening. I'll try to feed them once every 1 day and a half or so and see how it goes. Thank you.
@DanielAnechitoaie keep
Me updated!
I bought one of them it killed any fish i put with it lol
I’ve never known that before! Your one must have been crazy
@@Mountain_Aquatics not sure but it was aggressive the last straw was when it destroyed my male betta and it also bit me when I was cleaning the tank.
They have teeth lol
@Cindy-ng6sx wiw
Had snail problems for years… used every chemical, manual removal, traps. All useless. Then I bought one Pakistani loach - problem solved in a week. Ate every single snail.
I’m glad it worked for you as well! Thanks for the comment.
Epic beard, and lovely fish
Cheers buddy. Hope you enjoyed the video
Crayfish absolutely destroy snails. We put one in our extra tank with a bully guppy we had to remove. This one we caught had no big claws for whatever reason. But it has removed all the snails and cleaned the gravel.
Is that in America?
i bought these loaches and the snails are more in my tank then i had before i put the loaches in the tank. all they do is swim up and down the on corner as if they are retarded or something. can i barrow your fish lol
Are you sure they are the same ones?
Maybe you’re feeding them too much, so that they don’t need to eat the snails
I got 5 of these and they were doing a good job of getting rid of my snails then I started feeding them and they don't care about the bladder snails anymore. Lol doesn't matter though because they are now my favorite fish because of how social they are
That’s great 😁
will they eat mystery snail? cuz I don't want them to attack my mystery snails
They would likely eat small baby snails, but fully grown ones would be safe. Hope that helps
ok so i was looking for striped kuhli loaches at the store for this and they didn't have any....but the guy there said that the YOYOs do well eating snails. so, i got one, trying it out. got 'im yesterday.
Have you seen him eating any yet?
Thank you! I have pest snails in my tank and I tried everything to get rid of them. I'll get yoyo loaches 💙
Good luck! I hope it works for you. As you can see from the video, it works very well
Did it work?
Ive also heard they dont get along with Corys so very hesistant to try it
Have had yo yo loaches for a month. It hasn’t affected the population at all. I’ve even got 3 pea puffers in there and they’re eating them I see the shells but there’s so many snails
@@imoffendedthatyouareoffended assassin snails work for me
Your white cloud fry wont survive with yoyo's in there. And yes they eat shrimp. If they run out of snails they are next to be targeted. So, no you have not found the best or easiest solution for snails. You will have to house the yoyo's and they get big!
Still doing fine
Loaches are great snail hunters, dwarf chain loach are great at it and a nano fish so great for smaller tanks, unfortunately you do need a few and they are expensive. but there is an other approach that works well, algae wafers or veggies ie cucumber in a jam jar, loads of them will go for it at a time, after that work out your feeding regimen because if you have a snail problem you are definitley overfeeding.
Very true!
I need to buy loaches
👍🏻 did you get any?
Did you get some?
I might have to some of these loaches to get my snail problem under control i have put a trap in and i have a cold water Corey but nothing is working.
Let me know if this works for you
Can I mix this fish with discuss?
I don’t keep discus, but they are tooth enough to take care of themselves so I can’t see there being any problems
Simple and great solution as captioned
Thank you
Got Khuli loaches arriving tomorrow. Love them, but my snail issue was the perfect excuse to get em. XD I'll take pics of the snai issue before and after.
Enjoy
They will eat ALL snails!! Mystery snails and the like save your beautiful snail don’t put in with than please
Thanks a video on how to remove pest snails
how big of a tank do we need to keep two of these? Will they be ok in a shallow tank? Height = 30cms ? Are they jumpers?
A shallow tank will be fine for them yes. And no I’m not aware of them jumping
Hey, there! This is a great demonstration! Any luck with the Rams Horn snails?
Yes they take those to. Only the smaller ones though but uber time it stops them breeding and filling your tank
Fabulous information, thank you!!! 🙂
Your welcome, don’t forget to subscribe 😁
Dear Jamie:
What size is this tank, please? I have several 10-gallon tanks infested with pest snails and limpets. I don't believe such a tank is large enough for a yoyo loach.
Please advise.
Thank you for sharing this, terrific video on some, amazing, snail-eating fish. I especially appreciate the footage of loaches eating snails.
All my best,
Sincerely,
new subscriber,
E. J. Brinegar
Thanks for subscribing. I hope you enjoy some of my other videos. I’m not sure on how much water this old tank holds but it certainly isn’t very big. I wouldn’t keep a yo-yo loach in a tank this size indefinitely, but I have many large tanhs which now that they have eradicated the snail population they have been moved to. Perhaps o should have mentioned that in the video. Cheers 👍🏻
Dear Jamie:
I’m trying to come up with a way to eradicate snails, but I realize that the only true solution is to start over. I know that assassin snails (Clea helena) and yoyo loaches (Botia almorhae) eat snails, but I don’t care to have an overpopulation of assassin snails. I have a couple of larger tanks, but I’m waiting for some, long-lived fish to expire, so I can break them down. I don’t want to prolong that with yoyo loaches. I’m doing a series of experiments to rid small thanks of snails:

I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Keep up your, terrific, aquarist hobby and YouTubing.
Sincerely,
Brinegar
@@ejbrinegar thanks. If you have a good relationship with your local fish store they may also take the yo-yo loaches back once they finish their job
Dear Jamie:
Well, I have done that with nerite snails. I bought a pair and was disappointed that at least one was a female. She (or they) left eggs all over my aquascape (which don’t hatch, but simply rot in fresh water). I traded them both for one, Amano shrimp. The pet store always comes out ahead, but it’s good of them to deal with me. I’ve also sold them Columbian tetra, but I hate to part with my pets. They get much better care with me than they can hope for, elsewhere.
Thank you for your, continued correspondence and help.
Sincerely,
Brinegar
Goo9 video mate Very helpful 👍
Cheers Tony 👍🏻
I have an outdoor fish pond where they keep attacking my koi and goldfish. Naturally, if the fish are covered in snails, the pet store won't warranty them. I need to buy a dozen or so and turn them loose in the pond. Thanks for the tip... 🐀🐾
Interesting!
Hey mate
I'm in Australia and have hundreds of these little tiny miniature black shelled snails all over my 55gallon. I have loaches but not like yours. They are eating all my plants. I will look for those loaches at my pet store and hope they work.
Yes I hope you manage to find some
Your intro animation did something weird to my eyes, the depth perception was all thrown off lol pretty damn cool
Oh really? I’ve never noticed
@@Mountain_Aquatics if i put the phone close enough to my eyes it works as an illusion every time. The dots being out of focus and the words being in focus. Then the radial blur and shake. Make it look 3D👌🏽
does this fish can put in guppy and platty and gurami tank ?
Should be fine yes
I have clown loaches and they love eating those pesky snails 😂
Yes they do a good job!
I got a pair of them a month ago and I haven't seen them eat any snails not have I seen any empty shells. Maybe they are too young yet. They are about 1½-2 inches. How long did you have them in the tank before you started noticing a decline in snail population?
I noticed it almost immediately. Your snails may be too large or your loaches too small for now. I have since moved these loaches on to other tanks and they have gone to town on those aquariums too and have destroyed the pest snail population there to. Stick with them, they will work. For now they may only be eating a few small ones. Over time they will get through them. How large is the tank they are in?
Will this work on my tiny 45l tank. I have shrimp and pygmy corys (and a couple baby's). I also have 2 nerite snails
I thought I was being kind and the Internet was being dramatic. I thought whay could one little bladder snail do?.. I now have 50+. I keep pulling them out and putting them in the big tank with some clown loaches..
It's just never ending 😭😭😭😭
I’m not sure if they would eat your nerite snails though
@@Mountain_Aquatics Oh I know, my 2 nerite snails arnt the problem. I meant, would they be safe from the loach? It's only the bladder snails that have exploded.. I think one had snuck in when I ordered plants or fish from someplace
@@rebeccasingh1644 worth a try
Thanks
No problem
You’re still responding to comments three years after this video was posted?
Do they eat apple snails?
They wouldn’t eat large ones
@@Mountain_Aquatics how large would they need to be?
@@sethkealey-drury987 about an inch or above, but really depends on the size of the loach as well. But they will eat all the small ones
@@Mountain_Aquatics cool cause cause my first fish was an apple snail and I have a problem in his tank so it would be good to get one of these loaches
I have a major snail problem. I put a clown loach in and it made absolutely no difference. Maybe a couple of these will do the trick.
Let me know how you get on. As you can see it worked for me 👍🏻
@@Mountain_Aquatics I put a Yoyo loach in, and it died the day after I bought it. The clown loach is still a waste of time. So I've made the decision now to completely clear out the tank and start again from scratch. The snails have cost me a fortune in plants and they've killed off half my fish. So the tank is getting emptied of all fish, plants, the lot.
This is the best solution ever! Can’t wait to get me some loaches!
Let me know how you get on! Have you got a bad snail problem?
@@Mountain_Aquatics
I bought a bundle of Hornwort for my betta (Nova) about less then a month I started seeing the snails at first I had no idea how the snails got in the tank this is my first planted tank so far I’m loving it except for the snails their breeding so rapidly!
Yea I always prefer a planted tank. Hope you get rid of the snails
Stop feeding that much and you won't have a snail problem. Look into creating a natural food web and have healthier fish too.
That would mean less snails. But not eradicated. You cannot stop algae which is the beginning of the food chain and is something snails will eat
@@Mountain_Aquatics Yes, of course. Snails become a 'pest' only when they're in large numbers. Unless you don't like having any in your tank.
oh no, unsubscribed now !
I love snails and fish
So sorry Em
Would putting these in with Medaka be a bad idea?
Thanks for the comment. No I think they would eat the eggs of Medaka if I’m honest. It’s not often I find people that also keep Medaka 😁
Scuds will also go after snails and are also a really good food source for your fish.
Yes fish love the scuds
I can’t wait to try these fish. My tank keeps getting over run with annoying snails Thanks for the video.
Let me know if it works!
I loved the video. I finally got some loach, they are tiny but I love them. Not sure if I can put a pic on.
I breed assassin snails in my skittles shrimp tank... i use a few in all my tanks in my fish room.
Do they work?
@@Mountain_Aquatics yes... they work and are cool looking... i even have them in wirh my lake tanganyika cichlids
What's the name of this fish?
Called the yo-yo loach. Let me know if you struggle finding some 🙂
Weather loach also seem to like snails!
Tried them and the kept escaping 😂
They will eat baby shrimp.
Yes possibly
Hi there I have two 5 gallon betta tanks with snail pest what are it options?
Wel those tanks would be too small for a loach I’m afraid. You can try adding a slice of cucumber every night and removing it in the morning.
@@Mountain_Aquatics thank you
Hi mate I have a 5ft tank and it’s absolutely over run I’m so lost I’ve tried everything like u I have 16 red belly piranha in there and I have taken everything out tank substrate too and I’ve now discovered the 2 external filters are absolutely full with them that’s how they are coming bk in tank any ideas mate
Have you added any of these loaches yet?
@@Mountain_Aquatics not yet the assassins are not doing much good bud but as they are piranha I don’t think they will survive as piranha will eat them mate what do you reckon that much I was going to shut down tank but 16 belly piranha I’ve grown since baby for the last year the snails have begun to mess my flow up too
@@jamesconnerty9581 if you’re sure that they wouldn’t be don’t be safe with the current fish stock then it will have to be stripped down I think mate. I’ve never kept piranha before, but I assumed they would leave healthy fish alone?
@@Mountain_Aquatics thanks my friend
this is so good I needed it today, but I do like snails in moderation
Yes a few snails are good. Let me know how you get on 😁
Thanks, that's gotta be the best way to get rid of bladder snails. They came in on a plant and took over. Do they eat their eggs too ? If not then it'll still be a problem.
Thanks for the comment. I don’t think they will eat the eggs. But they should eat the young snails before they have a chance to breed.over time they will sort out the snails for you completely.
@@Mountain_Aquatics If I wanted to put these in a tank temporarily, how long do you think I should leave them to ensure the snails have been eradicated? Or at least, to have the highest chance that they will be gone before removing the loaches. I have a 10 gallon tank and ultimately, will not have room for the loaches in my final stocking plan.
@@thoughtgaming492 it would have to be a few months. If there are already snail eggs and young you’d have to wait for them to hatch and get big enough to be eaten. But they would do the job over time 👍🏻
Oh the best solution i have found so far.
Thank you! It really works 😁
but they might eat the shrimplets
Mine never bother my larger shrimp. And I have plenty of hiding spaces for the smaller ones. They might take a couple but none I’ve ever noticed
Brilliant, going to look into getting one or two yoyo coaches. Hope they're ok in a community tank
They should do well in a community tank and add a nice bit of character. Let me know how you get on! 👍🏻
HEY! thanks!
No problem!
Goldfish will also get all of your snails really fast. I had a 20 gallon infested with rams horn snails 8 years ago. My teacher told me to get a goldfish. After goldfish did it’s job I gave them to my teacher for her pond. But you can just give them to a non big chain pet store. Just tell them why you had the fish and why you want to get rid of it.
Goldfish are good yes
