I've heard that Dojo Loaches love eating snails, however, when I bought one for a treat they paid no attention to it. Was my information incorrect?

I thought they do eat snails to

From what I've read, the Botiine loaches (yoyos, clowns, etc.) are more avid snail-eaters than the serpentine (dojo, kuhli, etc.) loaches.

How large are the loaches? How large was the snail and what type of snail is it? How long as the snail been in the tank?

My Dojos ignore snails completely. For treats mine get chopped up salad shrimp about once a week. They also love shrimp pellets and will eat thawed frozen bloodworms from my fingers.

My loaches are around 6 inches long and the snail's body (not shell) probably spans an inch around. He's been in the tank for a few months and as for the type I'm not certain. I merely planned to use it for a treat so I didn't pay attention. It's a yellow color that is usually found in pet stores if that narrows it down. I know very little about snails.
thanks guys!
