Freshwater tank, right? How big of a tank do you have and what kind of cleaner are you looking for, algae or bottom feeder?

 

[garylee2112]

Give us more details! (tank size, plants, bottom feeders or algae eaters, etc.)

Opps freshwater. Lol. How about a loach or cory cat?

I have a 20 g fish tank and I kind of wanted a bottom feeder I also wanted some life plants with are some good ones???

 

[Saltwaterfishgirl]

Well clown loachs are funny and do the job but get large. Id go with cory cats

 

[Starka]

What do you need the cleaner for? Algae? Sand sifter?
Also cories need groups of 5 or more. Bigger the group the cutier they get.
What is the size of the tank?

 

[Talvari]

No on the clown loaches. They can get to be a foot or more.

Go with Cory Cats if you want a bottom feeder... But dont get a fish because you want it to do something, get it because you want it. There are plenty of options, and they all like to be in groups. Peppered's, Bronze, Albinos, Pandas, etc.

Live plants... java fern, anubias, java moss... All low maintenance.

Ghost shrimp are good detritus cleaners. Cherry Shrimp and nerite snails are good algae munchers. So are pond/bladder snails, but if you overfeed you'll get an explosion. Malaysian Trumpet Snails eat some detritus, some algae, and keep your substrate aerated.
