	skunk loaches.
divertran Fish Addict Posts: 784 Kudos: 469 Votes: 165 Registered: 14-Nov-2004	Will skunk loaches get along with my dwarf gouramis and rad rasboras? there's a striped rubbernosed pleco in the tank as well. still looking for yo-yos but they're hard to come by. Also, will they do well with large polised stones on the bottom? the wife likes it but I will gladly change to a miniature gravel for them.

We got a batch of 4 and they terrorized our tank, including our Pleco and spotted raphael cat, they are very aggresive and I would seriously consider getting cories instead!

The best snail-eating species is Botia sidthimunki, but it is kind of rare and therefore expensive. Other good ones are yoyo and zebra loaches. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.
