    Hi everyone

    Despite the best effort to avoid introducing snails into my tank, well I got them anyway...

    Has any kind former seen the Dwarf Botia Loach point me the direction to the LFS? This is how they look like....



    Besides the Dwarf Botia Loach, I searched the website and apparently seem that Kuhli Loaches eat snails as well? Can anyone confirm this? Thanks

    @Max Lim

    Another good alternative to the Dwarf Botia Loach is the Zebra Loach...if you do visit the LFS, do me a favor and let me know how much they cost? I don't think these loaches are going to come cheap and need a school of 3 to 4 to do well.

    Kuhli Loaches don't eat snails, I have some of them in a snail infested tank and the population of snails is growing.

    Re: Any LFS Selling Dwarf Botias Loach?

    @fatmax ...thanks for the info.......Just couldn't figure it out till the directions to go....hahahahhaa

    @Ingen...I guess not too...besides puffers....I know Clown Loach eats but these buggers get too big...next best alternative is the Yoyo Loach, Zebra Loach and the Dwarf Chain Loach.

    I think some species of Gourami are snail eaters too not too sure....

    I saw this "sitmonky" loach at SV last months. You can also find this at Y618 occassionally, price is cheaper too. They are not cheap but you must buy at least 6 because, similar to Kuhli Loach, they love companion.

    For your info, my kuhli loach has been suspected to eat snails if you don't feed them for days. There were too many empty snail shells lying around after I introduced kuhli loaches (8 pieces) into my tank. If you have shrimps, they are shrimp friendly.

    However, I suspect Dwarf Botias Loach may not be very friendly to shrimp. My 3 giant Amano shrimps died instantly when I introduced 2 Botias loach into another heavily planted tank and there was reduction in my cherry shrimps population too. Unlike Kuhli Loaches, Botias loach cannot stand hunger, they will die if you didn't feed them well. These are my observations after keeping the two different kind of loach in separate tank.
