Default slight snail problem...what kind of loach?

Clown loaches get far too big for a 15 gallon tank, especially since it's best
to keep them in groups of six or more.

Try a yo-yo loach. They stay small, and are much less destructive.


Even yoyo's would get too big for a 15 gallon tank.


Don't get a skunk loach. They are nasty critters.


Ditto this, especially in that small of a tank.

Zebra loaches (botia striata) would be the best sized loach for that tank.
Depending on the current stock a couple could fit in there nicely. They are
also a peaceful, timid loach that does no destruction to plants. They graze on
them, but not for the flesh of the leaves, they go for anyting *on* the leaves.
