i was doing a PWC/gravel vac, and noticed that it was much dirtier than previous vacs. i had held off last week, as i have some molly and platy fry in there andi also moved my corys to another tank. is there a single "cleaner-upper" that i could put in there? i love my corys, but they need to be in a group, and my ottos clean up the algae but not much else. any ideas on how to do this without ridiculously overstocking my tank? should i just increase my vacuuming?
 
Ghost shrimp will eat almost anything edible, but they won't eat fish :p You could probably get 5-6, they are small and pretty cheap :D
 
Ghost shrimp, but not singly. :nod:

I would not keep fish as "scavengers" unless you are going to augment their food.

If this is for algae, not a good idea. If it is for leftover food, feed less.
