Hey I was wandering is there any animal that will literally eat poop?
Dogs...but theyre not fully aquatic. Seriously though I don't think there is. I always get a laugh at feeding time when all the fish take turns on trying to eat poop. The fish think its food gulp it down then spit it out to the next fish. They think its a big hunk of food(afterall it IS feeding time)...& it goes on from there. Noone ever really eats it though.
A planted tank will help breakdown waste on your substrate,but you'll still need to vacuum around the plants
Some starfish. I'm pretty sure the sand sifter eats it. I had a ton built up on my sand from cycling my 180 and put a sand sifter in and it's gone now. Never changed the flow or anything else and to this day haven't seen a single piece of poo on my sand
