What type of botom feeder would clean up the fish poo,

Can be anything, fish/crustactian
 
Bottom feeders eat left over fish food, algae and decomposing vegetable matter. They don't eat poo. Thats what a gravel vac is for.

exactly! No fish will eat the poo and if you put a bottom feeder in there hoping he will and don't feed him, he will die. You need to use a gravel vac at least every other water change - or even every water change.

There are no short cuts in this hobby....it's a lot of work, but extremely rewarding.
 
the other thing to remember apart from the mentioned is that even if there was... what goes in must come out!! 8O
