wrasse for snails
 
a canary wrasse or yellow coris wrasse will eat pyramid snails i haven't seen one in my tank since i put my canary wrasse in

Thank you. I will research them as well. My LFS recommended a leopard wrasse over the 6 line because we have a couple of shrimp. Any thoughts on that? I want to make a decision and let them know tomorrow so I can get in on their next order.

Been picking these damn snails off my rock/substrate periodically all afternoon. Sadly, there are a few. There were 30+ on the clam alone.

I'll know for next time. I'm not giving up on clams. I like them way too much.

having similar issues but can't seen to find and snails but have had one clam done in by bristle's. I know they where bristles because one stuck me when I was moving the clam to inspect.

clam help
 
thats why i'm buying the flasher wrasse for the bristle worms also arrow crabs and dottybacks work good, the arrow crab will eat the bigger ones, my problem is the other half thinks they look too much like spiders and won't let me get one.

as for the wrasses the leopard would be the better of the two to get IMO they definitely look nicer as well.

Ok then Leopard Wrasse it is if I can find one. Anyone in Edmonton or Calgary if you see some please let me know.:biggrin:

wrasse
 
like i said the flasher wrasse for bristle worms , the leopard wrasse coment was for the question for which one i think is better to have out of the leopard or the 6 line but for clam protection i have a canary and a flasher.

OOOHHHH my bad :biggrin: I really want to protect my clams and future clams. I have a small 6 line and a pink face wrasse but I thought I saw the pink face pick at one of my clams.

Too late! Canary is on order. Should be here soon.

Here's a pic of the culprits:
