snail removal / tiger loach ?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yoyos would be a better choice, I have had problems with every type of tiger loach I have owned.

Would they be a safe tank mate with my Poly's & ropes or would they pester the crap out of them?

Thanks.

Knowing that species, they would chew most of a bichirs fins off and kill it either from wounds, or stress.
Mine chased ANY bottom dweller 24/7
no joke.
 
So far, on my 120 GA tank, the 4 yoyos (2-3") are doing very well with my 6 polys (6-8"). My polys love to hunt the danios (I use danios because they are fun to watch, not too expensive, and since they move so much, I assume they are not as fatty as feeder guppy/goldfish).

The yoyos are eating all the small ramshorn snails (due to live plants from my other tanks), but leaving all of my Olive Nerites snails alone. BTW, I would highly recommend Nerites for algae cleanup since they cannot breed in freshwater.
