Thinking Of Trading In The Clown Loaches

[Thommo]

I currently have a 370L planted tank which also has 4 clown loaches ranging in sixe from 6"- 4". They are cool to watch but are getting on the large side. The size really isn't a problem at the moment but they keep ripping/ eating my plants and making a mess of things. They do a great job with the snails also.

If I traded them in what would people recommendations be for a snail eating replacement?

I have to catch them first Any hints tips?

Thanks Bigpig
Are either good a gobbling up snails? I had a hug outbreak until I added the Clowns but now it is pretty much under control. I would hate for the snails to go gang busters again.
Looking into them now and I think the zebra might be on the cards.
Thanks for the advice.

Thanks. I might still look like that if the Clown Loaches didn't keep ripping it up
