Which are the best bottom feeder fish to have with cherry shrimp

[andrewcul]

I have about 30 shrimps cherry, yellow, orange, blue and others in my 240litre tank, so many hiding spots you don't often see many at any one time but they still don't seem to be cutting it for bottom feeding duty.

Are there any good bottom feeder fish that are compatible with small shrimp?

Pygmy corydora are the smallest bottom feeder I can think of.

Are there any other fish in the tank?

Is there a chance you're over feeding? My shrimp tanks only get fed every other day.

There are a lot of small fish like neons because I love them all going around in shoals, I will admit I'm a good feeder I don't like to think they are hungry but they aren't majorly overfed by any means.

Those are absolutely perfect, I'd never heard of them before thank you very much!

Corydoras habrosus look act like big Cories in a 1" package.

Just a little FYI, all of those shrimp are the same species and when they interbreed, the offspring revert to their ugly wild type coloration.
