Amano shrimp

[Tanger]

hey do amano shrimp get killed by weather loaches?

[komodbeam]

unless the shrimp is small enough to fit in the weatherloaches mouth, he wont bother them. ive kept them with ghost shrimp before and they wouldnt touch em

[Tanger]

alright thanks.... i'm gonna get 2 dojos now thx...

[Tanger]

oh and apple snails (pomacea bridgesii).... there generally too large for fish like goldfish or loaches to eat right?

[komodbeam]

yes, but some loaches can eat snails. Infact clown loaches love em. Mine ate a batch of them one time.

[Tanger]

oh how big were the snails?.... cuz these snails can get to a size of a golf ball...
plus i heard weather loaches eat snails... but i think only small ones

[komodbeam]

mine ate some ones that were the size of a quarter and then he ate one that was the size of a fifty cent piece.

I've heard that all loaches like to eat snails, even the big snails, I dunno how they eat the big snails though......just be careful with loaches and snails.

[Corydoryoryouse]

Loaches like clown loaches can eat large snails because they rasp through the shells with there mouths.

I'd probably say... don't risk it do stay on the safe side? =D
