Snail Hunting fish - recommendations ?

I believe a YoYo loach does not get as large as a Clown.. Effective at the
ridding of snails...

What sort of loach would be aok in a tank with guppies, bronze cory cats and
neon tetras ?? I relasie that a clown woulod be out of the question, but how
big do the yo-yo and zebra get ??

Hi
I have my skunk botia's in with corys, platies and white clouds. Some
people say they are agressive, but I've never had trouble with them and the
snails in my tank are next to gone now.

Either the yoyo or zebra would be fine with that mix -- they're not particularly
aggressive. In theory, the yoyo can get up to 6", but I've yet to see one that
big. Zebras max out a bit smaller, say 4-5". They both like company (I've
got 4 yoyos in my 29g community tank), so plan on a small school, not just one.

Will either of those take help with my snail problem ??

Sure, both will. IIRC, Zebras have a somewhat better rep as snailers, but both
will eat snails. Lots of times it comes down to what you can score from your
LFS.
