WARNING: If you don't want to see snails crunched and torn apart, don't watch this video!

Please forgive the way the tank "looks" snail eating for fish seems to be pretty messy. The visual water quality is not pretty for some time after they feed on snails. My oscars also constantly are splashing water out of the tank now, which is why the glass looks dirty. This was an impromptu video, and its the day before tank maintenance day.

I promise my water parameters are perfect.

1xBlood Parrot
2xJDs (pair)
5xClown Loaches
1xPleco

265 Gallons (84x24x30)
36" T5 Light for shading, sunlight effects
300 Gallon rated Living Color wet-dry sump
3L of SeaChem Matrix + Bioballss, ceramic rings etc...
1xIvy for nitrate filtering

I am always looking for better ways to enhance the lives of my babies. Hit me up, let's chat about fish!

They are doing what any fish would do, taking advantage of a free meal. Great video, your fish look very healthy

Thanks OFL. I owe it all to you, and your wonderful community here.

Your resources and guidance here have helped me know how to care my fish and spoil them.

I noticed this yesterday too.
Whenever i wrote down love, those exact characters showed up.
i resolved in liking, instead of loving!

All looks fantastic and those clown loaches were loving it too!!! When I was a little girl I had a little miniature foxy dog who loved walnuts. We had a walnut tree but her mouth was too small to crack the shells. She used to roll heaps of them underneath the car tyres so as soon as someone drove away she would have a big supply of cracked walnuts. I thought of that when I was watching the clown loaches enjoying the feast of fresh cracked snails...Shazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
