Hi

Think a bristlenose would be ok or you could get 3 or 4 otos.

Bullnose, bristlenose, goldspot ancistrus, L260 queen arabesque, L262 snowy hypancistrus, L177 queen gold nugget, L18 gold-nugget and L204 flash peckoltia.
These are plecos ranging from sizes from 9cm - 15cm.

If you have excess food, feed less Every fish needs specific care, buying a fish for left over scraps isnt really ideal

sounds like a gravel vac during your weekly water change would be more effective.

There are no fish that will help clean your tank. They may eat some of the food that falls to the bottom, or algae,, but the poo and ammonia they produce will more than counteract that; you'll have to clean the substrate a lot more with a plec than without one.

Clown plecos are cool if you want a pleco. they stay small and look neat. not going to help you with cleaning tho. most plecs are little waste makers imo

its a mix of that and the fact that my dwarf cories are actually more middle fish and only go to the bottom at night, i just wanted something t fill the bottom, eat the left over flakes and look cute! I have the required food for it as well (algae wafers etc...)

the L177 queen gold nugget looks nice, how big do they get?

L177 queen gold nugget is 6-8inch i think, if that's right too big for 95 Litre IMO.
I'm looking for a pleco for my 90 Litre, thinking 4 inch max size - depending on the dimensions.

Here's a good topic that might help you out;
