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

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

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.

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