I just purchased a yoyo/Pakistani loach for round two of the trumpet snail wars. Round one - baiting and nuking them - didn't work as well as I had hoped. The nuked ones are gone, of course. But replaced by 10 times more.
I would expect some hiding by Mr. Loach for the first couple of days, even though the temp and ph matched his prior tank conditions perfectly. He did venture out twice, both times snooped around and felt the snails with his barbels, and ran back to hide! Apparently the shear number of snails seemed like a daunting task. I know the feeling.
Since this is my first try with a yoyo, how long should I expect it to take him/her to acclimate to his new surroundings and begin crunching little snails?
