You really need to add more info.
What size tank are we talking about?
What type of snails?
What type of fry, and how large are they?
Parents in with them?
Temp of the tank, and whether it's a soft/ acidic tank or hard/
alkaline?

the tank is 30lt,not sure on the type of snails ,but there is two types;the
fish in the tank are guppys,and there own fry are in with them,temp 26, water
hard

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.
