When you say waste do you mean fish waste? Bottom feeders don't eat the fish waste.. they eat the food that the others let fall to the bottom. (Fish waste needs to be syphoned out when you do waterchanges.)

You could do a pair of bristlenose plecostomus. The L107 or species 3 bristlenose are pretty fun. You could do a group of 3 corydoras. There'll be other suggestions, I'm sure.

from my experience all your fish will eat your fry. i've never had one make it (wait i did have one long time ago) until i removed the other fish into another tank
