Please suggest to me some bottom dwelling fish for my future dwarf gourami tank . It will be 90L with a sand substrate , fairly heavily planted , with driftwood, floating plants and a pair of dwarf gouramis . Please no loaches or snails as *whisper* they kind of scare me.I'd prefer them to be from Asia to go with my tank please !
 
I was looking for something Asian , I think Brushynose/Bristlenose is S.American ? Thanks for your help so far!
 
Dwarf crayfish or shrimp would be interesting bottom dwellers and will help clean up any leftovers :) I don't believe the crayfish are Asian, but I'm pretty sure there are shrimp that are.

Siamese algae eaters are another option, but I think they might be borderline too large for your tank... I'm not as familiar with them to say.

Thank you ! I think I might go with a bamboo/asian fan shrimp , they're pretty cute .Thank you for your suggestions and help ^^
 
From recent experience, if you get more than one Dwarf Gourami, get one male and 2 females minimum. I had a pair assuming it would be fine and he chased her to death. She tried so hard to hide from him and it was heartbreaking to watch. I am a fan of clown plecos though
