I have always prefered to have snails even if they are small snails
and lotas of them in any fry tank as they helped clean up the mess
that fry tanks make as compared to other type tanks.....Clown loaches
will eradicate the snails, but so will a slice of zuchinni squash
floating in the water and netted out when all the snails accumulate on
it. May take a few days but its still a very effectived means of
elinminating a lot of snails. Of course you probbaly will be dealing
with egg masses on tank glass etc as well as inside the fitler so
arbitrarily getting rid of snails is not such a simple matter, and
will take time.
