So I've been having a small bug problem in my tank. I had a castle decoration which i had to remove because the bugs made it their home, ad it seemed to get rid of a bunch of them but still some remain. I've checked all over and this dosnt seem like a common insect in peoples tanks. They look like small spiders and have tiny spikes on them, and whenever i come home at night i see some on the glass, but when i turn on the fish tank light to get a good look at them, they scurry down to the gravel.

I've seen them twice during the day on the substrate thats at the corners, so i know they dont burrow. My Fish (guppies/HarlequinRasboras/Amano) dont seem intent on catching them, are there any bottom feeder fish that do? I've been meaning to get true bottom feeder fish and not rely on my 2 amanos to clean the tank. Something that can clean the tank of these pesky bugs would be nice.
 
Dwarf Gourami was actually next on my list of fish to buy. But still need suggestions for a bottom feeder.
 
Corydora are good at browsing the bottom and will gladly hoover up a tasty bug :drool:
