Bottom feeder

[crazychris]

Hi I need a bottom feed but I really don't know what I should get since I have a 29 gallon with neons tetras, guppies, swordtails, and a small algae eater. I was thinking maybe a small shark or catfish but they might eat the neons or guppies. Any other suggestion?

4-6 Cory cats would be perfect. Any sharks will be too aggressive for that tank.

Try a striped Raphael Catfish they are peaceful and do good clean up work. When they aren't stuck in tank decorations (which mine currently is).

For as much as I don't like those fish it might be my only choice. I had seen a cool looking catfish that was a camo color and had thought about one of those but I can't figure out the name of it for the life of me. It's kinda like a ball python color.

It also happens to be my profile picture too.

Cory cats are awesome you can find some rally neat ones too if you shop around a bit

The only place I could get those is at PetSmart and they don't have any color to them at all. Everything they have is silver or some pale color so that's why I stay away from them.

Once they get In your tank they will colour up.
