African Butterfly Ciclids (Annomalochromis thomasi) eat snails.

Ceylon Puffer fish will without doubt eat all your ramshorn snails and quite 
quickly. It takes a little longer for it to get into the MTS.

My 4 Clowns loaches seem to never touch snails.
Most loaches will prefer feeding from you than bother with snails.

So unless you can get your feeding much reduced your loaches will probably 
hardly touch them.

Get yourself a snail trap and use it once a night for a week.
See http://www.theaquariumwiki.com/Snail_catcher

I made an effective snail trap using 2 Sofa caster protectors and a 3" 
screw. Worked just as good.

My gold dojos have always loved snails. But the brown dojos / weatherfish
have never eaten them for me. My ADFs will play with 'em sometimes, knocking
them off leaves just to watch them fall.
