I have 2 tanks with yo-yos in one and zebra loaches in the other. Both do a
good job of keeping the snails from taking over but I've noticed the zebra
loaches are better at it than the yo-yos. Both species stay small and yo-yos
seem easier to find - in my area at least. Either way, you'll see an
improvement.

My Yo Yos did a better job with the snails than my clown loaches.

That page gives me errors and no images
guess i'll hafta ask santa for some clown loaches then.

Do they need to be trained to eat snails, or will they just recognize
them
as tasty?




Before you do, be sure and get Santa to tell you how large a clown loach
will get... most people are unaware that they get big... fast.

If you are looking for a more reasonably sized snail eater, get a trio
of
Yo-Yo loaches. They stay small and are great snail eaters.
