What is a usefull predator to eat snails in a planted tank?

I keep three siamese algae eaters and 8 rasboras in a 55 gallon tank
currently.

Many types of loaches will destroy snails with reckless abandon. Clown
loaches are best, IMO, but many will reply to this that they get too large,
and I always counter with "Fine. In 6 years when they outgrow the tank, you
can find them a new home, or you'll have a ready-made justification for a
bigger tank."
I've been told that Dojo (weather) loaches eat mucho snails as well, but
I am yet to have one that does.
