My situation in my tank now is that any food that sinks to the bottom is just going to stay there and rot because the fish I have in the tank now only feed in the mid to high level of the tank. I am aware of stocking a tank with bottom, mid, and top dwellers. I want some kind of fish(s) that is/are a bottom feeder(s) to eat food that falls to the bottom (no plecos unless there are "dwarf" plecos less than 10cm), but I know about corries sensitive barbells and I am wondering if there are some other bottom feeders that will be more suited to my tank because of my coarse gravel. My substrate is about 1 to 1.5 cm in diamater, most of it is relatively smooth but about 1% of the substrate is rather sharp and rough....I also have a very strong current in the upper portion of the 55g tank tank.....
