I need a loach that meets these requirements , none may exist but Id like to find one close.
1. Remove all the pesky snails in my planted tank.
2. Be ok in a 33 Long.
3. Be friendly with the shrimp in the tank. Tiger, Cherry, Amano and Bamboo.
I guess my main concern is finding one that wont eat my shrimp.
Thanks

My opinion, I don't think you should be after clownloaches, because they do eat the shrimp too.
Maybe you could borrow some clowns and move your shrimp to a smaller tank for a week, then give back the loaches and put back the shrimp.

This is a simple one, really.

A dead loach, available in most fish stores.

More seriously, even large clown loaches would have problems with armored cameroon shrimp (Atyopsis gabonensis). Other shrimps you have are living on borrowed time.
