Ok so we bought a couple live plants from the LPS and a couple weeks later we noticed we had hunfreds of baby snails around the tank. We had plans for many of them but just of late we added 3 july cories and know there is only 4-5 of the larger snails left.
I know clown loaches eat snails but would the cories also eat them given they are still quite small.
Thanks
Tyler and Amanda

I've never really heard of cories doing much snail eating. Are there any cichlids in the tank? I know many of them will eat snails.
