160 litres (35 gallon) tank

[Jordanwri16]

I'm soon upgrading to 35 gallon. Does anyone have a 35 gallon, what bottom feeders have people got and how many?
I have 4 false julli corys currently and would like to get 2 more of that species so i have a group of 6 but I would also love some kuhli loaches an a giant fan shrimp too.
But I'm sure this would be to much at the bottom of the tank?
Any suggestions and advise please

You definitely should have more corydoras, they do better in larger groups. Fan shrimps dont care about space, they want a safe space to molt, and one spot to sit at and filter, and they also do better when not alone (think two or three).
If you optimize the bottom with higher layer of wood and or rocks or caves or places of hiding (like tubes) you could be ok with the combination of loaches and corydoras.

Though of course if you add higher layer of wood/rocks, you are reducing your total water volume and should be very careful about adding anything else to the tank except small neat fish, so it is a pick and choose what you want situation.
People dont consider the added ornaments/woods/rocks as a reduction of water volume when counting the "fish space"
