Re: [APD] clown loach versus apple snail



I'm sure this was asked and answered before, but do loaches - any 
variety - feast on shrimp too?  I might add a couple to eat my growing 
snail population in a 29 gallon tank, but don't want them to also eat 
my shrimp - assuming any of them are still around.
