Try horsehead loaches if you can find them. I have two in my 75-gallon.
The don't eat any snails I put in the tank but they clean up any snail spawn
within moments of it being produced.

I also have yo-yo loaches in another tank and find them to be very
destructive digging up plants.

Cool look'n loach. They look like yoyo loaches however, same family? Would
it be possible that the LFS would mix the two types up?

Try Botia rostrata if you can find them. They are very active and
sociable,
don't eat any plants, and max out at about 3.5 inches. I've had mine for
15
months.
