Bottom feeder for a tank

[JPH1970]

If cories were not an option (school size is too big for my tank) for a bottom feeding fish, what could I use?

Is there something I could add that will be happy as a single fish? Nothing bigger than 2 inches or so

A couple peacock gudgeons would do well. They don't get real big, but more bottom dwellers than feeders. A mystery snail or two could do wonders cleaning up food on the substrate though.

If you have driftwood in your tank then you could do a clown pleco. They need wood in their diet is why

I believe Hillstream loaches can live in groups of about 3.

I do have mystery snails....just got them last week.

Unfortunately no driftwood. I'd have to shift the plastic plants around or maybe remove some to Dd driftwood

Unfortunately I have gravel and Hillstream loaches might not work
