I have a 75 gallon tank with a group of platties. 6 adults and about 4 or 5 broods of fry in various stages of growth. A few of the female platties really hunt the newborns, so on average only 2-6 fry per brood are making past the stage where they no longer fit into the mouths of adults (tank is heavily planted, but two females in the group are real hunter/killers of fry). I also have two chinese algae eaters in this tank. They pretty much keep to themselves.
This tank has a bad problem with ramshorn snails, and I can't keep up by just picking them, so I'd like to introduce some loaches.
Question is, which loach would be compatible with the two fish species already in the tank and aren't fry eaters, but would deal with the snails.
Thanks!
