Best Catfish For Cleaning Tank

[yaboyroy]

Ok so i got a question i hope someone can answer. I reacently got 2 pictus catfish for my 55 gallon tank and they are really messy. So i was wondering if i put some cory catfish in the tank do you guys think they will clean up the pictus catfish poop?

There are no fish which eat poop, I'm afraid. It is the fish keepers's job to remove it. Or plant the tank quite heavily and leave the poop to rot down to create plant food.

Nope no cats to eat poop, nor snails or shrimp either.

Echoing the above, but also want to add that as you make decisions on what fish to get for your tank, look up the hardness parameters of the fish you are interested in and compare them to your tap water (if that is what you use to fill your tank). You can find out the hardness of your water by looking up your water company's annual water quality report for your postcode for example.
