    Throw out all the gravel and get new gravel. Its the simplest way. That's what I had to do.

    umm their are many different fish that will

    These do:

    -Clown Loaches - However, they get over a foot long, so you wouldn't want them.

    -Yoyo Loaches - (under 6 inches or so) but I've heard they like to chase each other around a lot.

    -Zebra Loaches - They are peaceful and stay under 6 inches

    -Skunk Loach - They're towards each other, but like the yoyo loaches they can stress other fishes when they keep chasing each other. However, they do a better job than the clown loaches on eating snails.

    -Puffers- however, are aggressive.

    good luck
