Mike,
I would not use clown loaches in such a small tank.
These fish can grow quite large and a 10gal tank will
not do them justice. You could try yo-yo loaches
(botia lohachata), skunk loaches (botia horae) or
tiger loaches (botia striata). All of these fish stay
small.
Having some snails is good because they keep the algae
away. It is all about controlling their population
with snail eating fish.
