Clown loach IS tiger botia I believe...

Tiger botias can destroy some plants, it's true, but they
mostly just uproot them. Another idea might be to try and
get a MAcropod (Macropodus opercularis) - it's not as
effective as a botia but will not hurt your plants. A
siamese fighting fish also sometimes eats snails, but not as
well as a Macropod.
