So i revamped my 60g Hexagon (main tank) a few days ago. My tank has TONS of plants now, alot are still short but will grow with time. the problem is that i have virtually no access to the gravel.

how should i go about vacuuming my gravel during WC. i know most people get "cleaners" cories, shrimp, ... ect.

im not sure if i can do that since i already have 6 khuli loaches, a nerite snail (who only stays on the glass) and a little (1.5 inch) BN pleco (who only stays on the driftwood or glass (rarely)

what can i do? do i have stocking space left to get something like a few shrimp of pygmy cories... im at a loss because there is not much open floor space due to plants, driftwood, few rocks, and java moss

any ideas about how i should clean my tank?
 
as you can see, pretty covered with plants... make vacuuming seem impossible

Edit: wow i didnt realize how horrible the picture quality was... sorry guys
 
Heavily planted tanks don't really require gravel vacs as they utilize the waste that would be removed from it.
