    might wanna give a clown loach a try, they won't bother your plants and will make a quick lunch out of them.
    That or go through the trap and bait (lettuce and zuchinni works in a pinch).

    I personally love mts as they are great substrate adjetators (sp).

    ya, the clowns are a bleep to catch. But as for growing too big, that takes years and your lucky if you end up getting them over 4 or 5" in my experience (seem to be slow on the growing side).

    YoYo's are quick too in my experience with them, Loved them when I had them but they kept grazing over various fish in my tank stressing them out so they had to go. If I had the cash I'd buy the excess mts off ya, I'm in need of some with the sand substrate.
