Bottom Feeders

[pauloh]

im interested in a bottom feeder for my 190l tank, im not a big fan of plecs and i dont want one thats gonna grow to a foot long! i like the look of leopard corys, but i have coral sand in my tank, will it be too rough for them?

Maybe Otis but they might be too small for you.

What other stock do you have and what are the dimensions?

my tank is well planted with 2 swordtails, 2 guppies, 3 neons, 2 female gourmais, dimensions are 70cm deep by 100cm wide by 60cm high

I don't think the texture of the sand would be the issue. I think the bigger issue is that the water is probably extremely hard for them. Your stocking needs some help though. Neons need to be in groups of 6 or more. What are the genders of the swordtails and guppies? Livebearers need to be either, all male, all female, or 2-3 females for every 1 male.
