Hey, I asked this in the invertebrates area because I got a whole bunch of free snails but no one answered. More or less I have a 29 gal with 3 rasboras, 2 tiger barbs, 2 Colombian red blue tetras, a rainbow shark, and a 6" pleco (full grown) forget name. I know most people don't mix tetras and barbs but it has worked out ok. I think I want to get 2/3 more tigers and 1 more tetra if I can find one. But I was wondering if anyone knew any loaches that would fit to take care of snail population. I am willing to scale back to 1 tiger they seem to be getting along fine with just 2 now. I know they are schooling fish so how would I add them to a tank 1 a day or something? If they eat all the snails what is a good food, I have a thing of large freeze dried shrimp, will they eat flake? How will they do with an aggressive rainbow?

Man, I need a bigger tank. Sorry about the long winded post.
Thanks
