You should not be mixing loaches and snails. Dojo and Kuhli loaches prefer colder water and can be mixed with goldfish. Clown loaches prefer warmer water and should be put in a semi-aggressive tank. I have both Ramshorn snails and Mystery snails and they go in a tropical community tank.

really? well mine seem fine in a 78F tank. i know there are different kinds of kuhli loaches and some get bigger and look different with others. is it possible mine will be ok? mine are maybe 4 inches and all brown.

My experience with Kuhli loaches and snails is that only the large snails get eaten and for some reason, the Kuhli loaches leave the small snails alone.
I have a tank with snails and kuhli loaches and they definitely keep the population in check! I don't mind because I don't want my tank overran with snails.
