Default Snail Hunting fish - recommendations ?

I prefer my Angelicius over my yo-yos ....

I think that it varies by loach type & individual. My Yoyo is best
friends with all the snails. Zebra loaches are supposed to be a bit more
carnivorous (snailers) and don't get as large as Clowns.

I believe a YoYo loach does not get as large as a Clown.. Effective at

the
ridding of snails...

I believe you are looking for a loach.

Hello :

I bought quite alot of plants about a month and a half ago to start

up my
new planted tank. Seems like there were some hitchhikers, as now my
aquarium is full of small (~5-8mm) snails. No idea what species,

but
they
leave the algae alone and love eating holes in the leaves of all my

plants
(except the onion plant - go figure !).

Anyways, at some point in the past, I've seen someone post here

about
species that love to sneak through the vegetation and pluck snails

from
the
plants - and I want some ! What species was that ?

Thanks.

Shawn
