Nope, well loaches might but there is no grantee, assians are the best way to rid of them quickly

clown loaches grow pretty slowly and some just grow depending on the size of the tank they don't need a 100 gallon research please !!!!

No fish grow to the size of a tank, they grow until stunted. There outer body and Skelton stops growing but there interal organs keep growing until there no more room to grow and then they interaly implode. Yes to small tanks make them grow slower, cause they hormones they release into the water shows how much water volume they have to grow to so there trying to slow down.
Mabye yo-yo loaches might work

 

[Legit Fish]

just get one of those that should take care of it. or maybe labyrinth fish like gouramis, or botia striata which only get around 4 inches.

[Shanetweedz]

Nope ,many people use play sand, pool filter sand, and black blasting sand from tractor supply. Never had any problems with it
