Re: [APD] clown loach versus apple snail

Depends on the kind of shrimp.  If its glass shrimp, I can't think of a fish
that won't try to eat them.  Even my plecos like glass shrimp.  I've had
Bamboo Shrimp and my rainbows will watch them, but nothing has ever attacked
them.

Those are the only varieties I've ever been able to get ahold of out here.
