Do Kuhli Loaches eat snails if not is there any freshwater fish that fit in a 10g 25g max tank that eat snails?

heartsongsinger

they do not. they have extremely small snails. Yes but the only one I know of will not be good company for other fish eventually. All brackish puffers eat snails

Loaches need to be in a group of at least 3-5 so even the smallest loach won't do for a 10g tank.
If your having a snail problem it would be much better to figure out why your having that problem and solve it frequently when fish are bought to solve a problem when the problem is solved the hobbyist no longer wants the fish.
Over feeding (a fishes stomach is about the size of one eye) and not getting the waste and extra food out of the substrate are two of the most common reasns for snail population explosions.

The snails are from my plants when I bought them.

AHHH I see They still won't multiply horribly with out food. they tend to multiply according to what food is available to them. Try vacuuming the substrate very thoroughly, watch how much the tank is being fed. If you see any little gelatinious blobs(those are snail eggs) remove those also. Continue to do this and you will see less and less of them.

Another thread discussed that Khuli Loaches will eat the snail eggs, just not the snails themselves. Dwarf Puffers are freshwater and love snails, but they are aggressive and nip long fins.
