Default snail control

whats the best loach to put in an african cichlid tank to control the
snails?
a puffer is out since I have invertebrates once again
preferably a loach that is colorful and won't get too big.

You doesn´t say if it is a malawi or tanganyika tank you have. If it is a
tanganyika you should look at neolamprologus tretocephalus instead of a
loach. This ciclid are from tanganyika, and is a super snail eater. I must
repeatadly add snails to the tank, in order to feed the fish.
