another bottom dweller

[fishmon]

i currently have a tank of silver dollars, pictus, and some danios. im wanting another bottom feeder for the tank. keeping in mind i dont want anything that needs a big shoal, and nothing over 6inches. and what kind of corys would you recomend?? (and anyother bottom dweller you could think of.. thanks a bunch!

Corys are happiest in larger schools, but can be pretty content with around 3. Most of them stay between 2-3 inches, such as pandas and albinos. Emeralds/greens are a little larger but quite beautiful if you wanted to go that direction. I have pandas and I absolutely love them - they're just great.

Zebra plecos are great fish but they are not bottom feeders - they need live and frozen insect food to stay healthy. They are also excessively picky about water conditions.
