I have both kuhlis and clowns and they are both great. I'm not sure who is responsilbe for eating the snails but they are slackers.
I don't see small ones, but there are several big ones in the tank.

I don't know if Khuli Loaches eat snails, but Clown Loaches have quite a reputation for it. When my tank had a bit of a snail problem, I bought two Clown Loaches and they cleaned the place up within 48 hours.
My kuhlis eat snails. not as voraciously as the botia type loaches, but they make a good dent in the population. How big is your tank?
i put a clown loach (under 4") in my 55 gal, and in 3 days i couldnt see any snails. i did however leave in my 2 large apple snails, and for months they never bothered them. then i noticed one of the shells were empty. im not sure why this happended, since about 3 times a week i add about 50 little ramshorns for them to eat. my clowns def did the job, and havent been growing too fast either.

DOH .. so much for that. I have black kulhi loaches i purchased for that purpose incase snails ever show up. now i have a bunch of snails and they not doing anyhting. in fact they are not doing much at all. just sit there and flounder out when i put food in tank.
hmm i can't get rid of them just like that still sort of attached to the lazy things. any suggestions on a small solitairy fish to eat my snails?
i have 6 adult swordtails 5 baby swords 2 neons (probably infected with NTD, all of the others i bought had it) and 5 kulhis in a 20G Long. Anything you can suggest that would fit?
