I have a tank full of bottom feeders and fish ... For plecos I have L178 gold nugget L066 king tiger l031 , bristlenose x2 and three packed angel fish etc anyways I always wanted to put a land snail in my tank for the loaches is this possible? What are pros ad cons? Will the loaches even eat them ? Will they harm my fish and plecos? Too big for loaches? Nobody can answer my qestion else where so I'm asking the pros!!

To start , what kind of land snail?
Live or dead?
you could try some small pieces and go from there.
Polluting the water with too much could be a problem as I would think it would go bad fairly quickly...
Also where have the snails come from, they may have picked up chemicals like lawn fertilizers etc.

clown loaches will clean your tank of every snail and some plecs will to , depends on the plec #-the meat eaters . It probably is not a good idea to mix L's and clowns loaches (if that is the kind you are thinking of getting) the clowns have blades by their eyes and when food gets dropped in , they use them and can injure the plec. Clowns get pretty big and NEED to be in a group of 5 or more to be happy . They are a very social fish with their own kind, and lots of hidey places--many wiil squish themselves in the same cave or pipe , it's just their way. Just me thinking out loud.. Georgie
