Bottom eater for a small tank

[Bayo]

Hey people,

From your point of view, what would be a good choice to keep my gravel clean? Is there a specific type of fish good at doing this? When I feed my fish with flake food, there is some food that falls down to the bottom. so I am wondering if there is a fish tan can eat/clean it?

Thanks!

What size tank do you have? This will help in determining what type of fish to get for clean up.

Some species of snails and crayfish do well in small aquaria as a clean up crew. Also some dwarf shrimp too. Depending of course on what kind of fish you have.

It is a very small tank, 6 gal. I have 3 neon tetra and 3 platies.

An applesnail or dwarf cajun cray would work, though imo your neons would do better in a bigger tank with at least 4-5 more buddies to school with. I realize this wasn't your question. Just throwin it out there.
