Hi there,
For snails, really the snailacides arent a good idea,
as they usually damage plants and fish.
Crush the snails against the side, or
buy a fish that eats snails.
For a 29g tank please dont get clown loaches.
Clowns grow to a foot in length.
YoYo Loaches, Polka Dot Loaches, Queen Loaches,
all eat snails. So do Freshwater Dwarf Puffers.

Another option is to strip the tank, replace the substrate,
scrub everything and soak the tank and plants in alum.
Always soak new plants in a solution of water and alum to kill
snail eggs.
Good luck.
