Clovis Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I have a heavily planted tank. See photo. Are there good choices for bottom feeding fish given there isn’t a lot of actual bottom open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimalNerd98 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 This looks like a prime tank for some Neocaridinia shrimp. If that’s not your fancy, I think Pygmy cories will do well in here. They like to perch on plants and since it is so heavily planted, they will feel more secure and you can see them more often. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K McZongo Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Khuli loaches and Corys are always a safe bet. What else is in the tank? Might want to try an Apisto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcelo Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 @K McZongo I was researching about Khuli today …so you know if they mess your plants and substrate ?? I am working on a hair grass carpet and bushes and they don’t have a very strong root … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arthritic Aquarist Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Apart from those mentioned, there are small varieties of loaches such as the Rosy Loach and the Banded Dwarf Loach that would work. Also other smaller species of Corydoras such as Pandas for example. Nerite snails also an option --though it looks like you may already have some snails based on your photo.
