Snail Eating Fish

[silvery37]

Are there any community fish that will eat snails or at least keep them under control but not eat shrimp?

uhh puffers eat snails. but they are not really a community fish and wouldnt leave your shrimps alone. lol.

Loaches eat snails but they're likely to want to eat your shrimps as well. If you could get hold of some, dwarf chain loaches may OK being so small, but then they'd only eat very small snails. And I think they're rare so may be difficult to find.

Clown Loaches, or any species of Botia loach
Not sure what they'd do to the shrimp, though. . .
