Best Bottom Feeders

If you have a sand substrate get some cory's. They are really entertaining as they burrow in the sand. It looks very cool when they do their burrowing and mucking around in the sand.

Id recomend clown loaches because they are colourful, peacefull, and very entertaining, however the major draw back with them is that they start small and grow to be HUGE so id only get them if you have a big tank otherwise get a small group of cories, you cant go wrong with cories!

Clown loaches do indeed get very large, so I deffinately do not recommend you these, as 1) Your tank is to small for them. 2) They would indeed overstock your tank ALOT.

Sorry I should have worded that better, what I was sorta trying to say is that clowns would be nice IF you got a larger tank but for now id advise cories

Thanks for the replys guys this is my new tank which will be set up soon

Very exciting new tank But that Pangasius will still never fit in there in a million years. They are not suited for the average home aquaria - and in fact shouldn't even be sold to the general public in my opinion (unless on special order).
