Depending on your tank size loaches will eat the snails. I love clown loaches but they get big and likes to be in groups so if your tank is big enough you can add a few of those.

But almost every single times you get loaches you get ick as well so I would quartertone them first.

When i didnt want snails in my tank ages back (i like snails now lol) i found vacuming the gravel helped get rid of lots of them.

Other than that id get some loaches as stated above.

thank you for your replys
my tank is 24inch contains

3 mollies 1 male 2 female
1 female guppy
2 endlers
3 neons
1 plec

can i have any more fish in this tank

In my 2ft i use to have 15-20 livebearers and with regular waterchanges and good filter system, it was great.

I wouldnt mix guppys and endlers though cos they will breed with each other and you will end up with cross breeds.

Btw, what is the plec? common?

i think its just a common plec on the guppy subject
