I actually did the same thing as you did, except my issue was MTS (Malaysian trumpet snails). They are doing a great job so far, I've had ours for 2 weeks and I rarely see a snail anymore. My dad just got infested too (he doesn't know how) and he's manually removing the snails atm but the loaches might take a turn in there too. Just keep in mind you don't want them to get too big before you take them back or the store might not accept them since they don't have tank space (that's what my LFS told me).
I'll keep that in mind. The LFS has quite a bit of space, and has a tank with an 8-inch one in it, so they could probably put them with it.
They are relatively slow growers too so as juveniles the size issue isn't as big of a deal- just long term
Yeah. That's what the guy at the LFS said.
