A bit late to comment, but I bought four Clown Loaches last week (because I
like them, not because of our snail problem). It took them a couple of days
to settle in but now I have no snails to be seen... before, well it wasn't a
*huge* problem, but they were kicking about.
It's a great crunching noise they make too when eating snails... :-)
