petco has ordered me three yo yo loaches but there all still under one inch. my question is will the loaches eat the snails still or do i have to feed them pellets untill a certain time? any help would be greatly appretiated

Shawnie

depends on how big the snails are compared to the loaches

Butterfly

They will still eat snails at that size but they are very fragile at that size. I personally don't like to buy them under an inch. good luck! Remember we need pics

What do you mean by fragile

Annadvn

Loaches are sensitive to water conditions and diseases. Especially the younger smaller ones. I believe this is what Butterfly means by fragile.

You will need to test your water conditions regularly and be ready to do water changes as needed along with your weekly changes.

here is a good link about them if you have not already seen it.
