ghost shrimp can and might eat fry (i read that somewhere) i would go for snails of and kind
I'd possibly go for some kind of shrimp (I know nothing about them, just that they clean, so ask in the right forum). Snails produce a lot of waste. I wouldn't go for Otos because they might be a bit cramped, and I definitely wouldn't go for Pygmy Cories. While they may fit, mine are very active, and swim alllll over a 10 gallon tank. 
What exactly are you looking to clean up though? Nothing will keep your tank healthy except water changes. And most fish will eat only 1 or 2 kinds of algae.

shrimp will eat any fry they manage to catch, also corys may eat and tiny fry aswell (they're they're a safe bet than shrimp ) Oto's can be delicate much prefering mature calm tanks. MTS breed like mad, but yes they do a great job of areating sand/gravel substrates.
If your doing regular water changes on the fry tank anyway, and have a bare bottom to the tank the easiest method to keep it clean is to use a sponge.....................just a simple basic sponge and wipe it across the bottom, pushing the muck into a corner, then syphon it all out

Its not bare bottom, it has sand and java moss (stated in first post). I just want some kind of cleaner that I can keep in there with fry, and so the tank isnt empty when theres no fry to be in there, and wont eat my java moss, and will be content with a 2.5 gallon.

Sorry forgot that part 
)
I'd go for the otos then they're very nice, pretty & calm fish who shouldn't bother with your fry at all they also wont rip the java moss apart (my bristlies love pulling it off the wood, lol). You could go with 2 otos and one small apple snail
