Bottomfeeders to pair w/ puffers?

[Superman1983]

I'm considering getting a dwarf puffer or two for my new 10 gal (US) tank. What would be a good bottom feeder(s) to help clean up any mess they might leave? Preferably something the puffer won't eat or kill. Thanks.

i would very highly recommend the ground dwelling catfish. I forgot the name but they are constantly on the ground scavenging and eating everything good they find. or if you simply want something on the ground, a spiny eel is another good creature.

I find Otocinclus work well to keep the bottom clean, the puffers seem to ignore them

I thought Otos were cooler water fish than puffers. Can they be kept in warmer water?

I have 5 in my FW puffer tank, I keep the temp around 79 and they are doing very well (I may have to put them on a diet they are getting so fat )
