Looking For Some Bottom Dwellers

[Dana C]

I have decided its about time I bought some more fish and would like to get some more for the bottom of my tank.
The tank has had fish in for 6 months and is 180 litres.
I have 6 cories
10 neon tetras
1 platy
6 leopard danios
5 black ruby barbs

I can't decide if I should get more cories or maybe a pleco or some loaches, I only want small peaceful fish that won't cause any problems for any of the fish I have already. I don't want any that may be aggresive to my cories.

All suggestions would be helpful

Hi,

A few otocinclus for algae eating and a group of khuli loaches would be good.

Thanks for your reply,
I was going to get some otos before but somebody told me they wouldn't risk it with my cories, but I never found out why.
I do get algae on the glass so an algae eating fish would be helpful

I have a fish database with some plecos in it. Here are the results of a search for fish in the "Loricariidae" family. (plecos)

You can click on any column, like "average adult size", to sort them in that order. There are lots of stats on each one in there, and each one also has a link to their fish profile from this web site.

Also, I hear amano shrimp are great, peaceful algae eaters. Here is their profile:

edit: oops, looks like something happened to that profile, it is gone. Here is the entry in my database:

Rubbernose pleco? just be sure to give it some rock caves.
