Best Bottom Feeder For 30 Gallon?

[mwood2]

Well I think I may have a the main top and middle stock for my tank decided buuut I cant decide on my bottom feeders. I found a new fish store that sells a nice selection, here's what I found:

Skunk Cory
Panda Cory
Julile Cory
Green Cory
Chain Loach
Zebra Loach
Burmese Border Sand Loach
Bristlenose Pleco
Golden Dojo (coldwater I believe)
Coolie Loach
Botia Angelicus

I have these to choose from but am undecided. We like all of them but what does everyone else think?

I think you should have a group of 6 panda cories, they're little so won't take up much space!

The Panda Cory would be my preference as well. The chain loaches would be a good choice, too, as they stay quite small. I would agree that a group of 6 would be best as these fish prefer the company of their own kind.

Get two BNs and 6 panda cories.

i think you have overlooked khulli loaches... they are great you could have about 5 along with the corys

well I like the Idea of 2 BN and 6 Panda Cories or 6 Chain Loach. Coolie Loach wouldn't show up as much in my tank due to the fact I have black sand.

the black & orange coolie loaches might show up! if you have a group of them & there feeling secure they'll dart around everywhere & you'll see lots of them!
I had one to start with (didn't know then that they liked to be in groups) & never saw him, now i have 3 I see them all quite a lot & am planning to up the number to 6 as soon as £ allows
they are really entertaining to watch & love to wriggle through the plants.
