In Response To: Any other loaches eat snails? (Ratfish)

Yes, the dojos (weather fish) do. I have witnessed my 5 inch dojo pulling snails right out of their shells -- shells up to 1-1/4 inch diameter. He'll shake them like a dog with a bone, and eat the whole thing within days before resuming the hunt. Great fish.
