What Next:?

I have shrimps, pond snails, ramshorn snails, daphnia and water lice (the last 2 being more to do with food for the tanks fish than cleaning the tank itself) but are there any other coldwater animals i could get (or temperate if i heat the tank slightly) that would clean up the tank?

Thanks,

Rob

hmm plecs are very good at cleaning the glass so long as you dont have gravel that is too sharp for the bellies.

fish are very good cleaners of the tank too if left hungry (but not starved lol)

The fish known as Hong Kong Plecos are actually Hillstream Loaches. They are not plecos at all.
