	bottom feeder suggestions wanted
castlequest Fish Addict Posts: 661 Votes: 0 Registered: 15-Feb-2003	I'm going to be setting up a 29gallon hopefully with a sand substrate sometime this summer. I was thinking of a pair of angels or similar pretty fish(will take suggestions for that as well if you'd like to give some), and I would like to have some bottom feeders. What I've thought of so far are small loaches, cories, or oil catfish if I can get ahold of some. All suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

I wouldn't suggest the small ones, but maybe some Agazzis?

Pretty much any species will work.
