Kuhli loaches are cool bottom feeders.

I personally like panda or julii corries.. I had a java kuhli loach once and he was a great janitor fish in that he had a huge appetite and really dug in the gravel for any uneaten food. Only down side is that they're nocturnal and I hardly saw him with the lights on. I now have zebra Nerite snails and they seem pretty efficient at eating algae and (I think) uneaten food.. Their bioloads are much smaller than the mystery snails I once had too.. I returned the mysteries fast because they were constantly pooping EVERYWHERE...LOL
