What fish or invert for my 55 gallon tank?

I have a planted tank with a decent amount of dead leaves. I was windering whih fish or invert if any would help maintain the dead leaves?

Snails will eat the dead leaves as will shrimp but not very fast. Your best bet is to trim off the dead leaves and toss them

inverts and snails will eat them..........but if you want..............any shrimp species would do the trick.......but probably more active ones like Amanos........and tigers............I'd do tigers as they multiply/breed in FW unlike amanos...........so you can start selling them eventually. And you could add a diff. neocaridina speicies like RCS or yellow shrimp as they will also multiply/breed but won't cross breed with caridina species like tigers.......for snails......idk, any type would work
