PiscsGirl Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hello. Why not try some assassin snails :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayer Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Quick follow up. My local petsmart has yoyo botia, is it the same as yoyo loach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiscsGirl Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I'm not sure. I hate to point fingers but I'm 80% sure that's where I contracted my case of camallanus from tho I'm sure someone more experienced will be along shortly to offer some knowledge ! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayer Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Thank you for quick replies PiscsGirl! I don't want any more snails, no matter what they are I'm also little confused by your statement on camallanus. Are you saying you got it at Petsmart or from yoyo loach?

Cgy_Betta_Guy Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 too bad... its cool to watch an assassin wrap up a snail and pry open the trap on the victim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slayer Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) Well if it will prevent similar problem in my tank I sure would love to know where not to buy. Please do tell. Edited September 6, 2011 by slayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGofCalgary Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Pea puffers will clean up your snail problem too. Whether or not they can work with your tank inhabitants is the question though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayer Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I did read about puffers being a bit picky about who they live with, so I'll start with yoyo loaches and see where that takes me. Thanks all for replies and warm welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
