Dojos and Snails

I know that clown loaches eat snails but do the Dojos?

I'm not sure, I'm getting a Kuhli Loach Monday, but I'm not sure about Dojo Loaches, never had them before.

Got this from another website about Dojo loaches and assuming your tank is the one under your username I figured I'd pass the info on:

Do not count on a beautifully planted tank with dojos. They are active redecorators, rooting up even the largest plants and tipping over rocks and wood like bulldozers with fins. Even my plastic plants end up floating on the surface.

Only the botine family of loaches eat snails. They have a pointy snout like clown Loaches, Yoyos, Striata etc.
so I guess what I'm trying to say is no they won't eat snails

and yep they will rearrange your plants if the substrate is something they can burrow in.
