Hi all, need recomendation for loaches which eats snails(if possible other pest too) but won't out grow my 2 feet tank with neon n guppy.

Read that generally loaches are not sutiable for small tanks. Was considering loaches with my barbs at one point but they get really big!

for snail why don't you try dwarf puffer fish, they are quite cute but once no more snail they will start hunting your shrimps

Assassin snails? Or if u really want loach try dwarf chain loaches.

Assassin Snails really a good one nice looking and fast snail eater.
