Neolamprologus tretocephalus

So... anyone know if they will feed on the 100's of malaysian trumpet snails that infest one of my tanks?

Even if they don't I'll probably still buy some :yes:

Cheers

I don't know, but I don't have any trumpet snails in the tank that houses my trets.

My Juli transcriptus gombe will eat snails, including malasian trumpet snails. But if you have a tank full of them, maybe you should invite a school of clown loaches to dinner

Julidochromis regani also eat snails. Have seen them decimate a pond snail population to the point that after introduction I never saw a snail, dead/empty or broken shell/egg raft again in an 900 l tank. Don't know how they will go with Malaysian trumpet snails though.

They will have a go at them but generally not good at eradicating them.

I have only seen them eat smaller snails they can crush, and have occasionally seen them have a go at a bigger one and loose interest very quickly..maybe mine are just too well fed.

Seems more people have trets than I thought.

Trets will eat snails, but only if they can't find anything

better, option is get a trio of small clown loaches as they

are happiest in groups of 3 or more

once the jobs done you can sell them anywhere and the'll

be bigger ......... but you will most likely want to keep them
