loaches

I bought a yoyo loach to clean out my snail tank (a heavily planted 10).
I just couldn't keep the snails out of this tank.  they were taking over,
but it took care of all the snails in less than a week.  I have had less
luck trying to exterpicate snails with kuhlies  they just seem to dig
through the grave and leave every one else alone.
