I have a 29 gallon tank with 9 tetra Glo fish what are some good bottom feeders that I can put in with them. I’m only gonna get two because I don’t want the tank to get crowded.

Aquarium Co-Op Is that your fish store? It's so cool, I always wanted to have my own fish store!

I absolutely love corydoras! They clean very well but they are just super hard to get out of a tank since they are crazy fast (most bottom feeders are).

I totally agree with your last statement about only getting fish that you want to keep. I love my clown pleco even though he just hides in his cave all day and comes out during the wee hours of the night to scavenge. I think it's mostly a matter of my respect of him and that I enjoy watching him find and steal the wafers when I drop them in (usually for only a little while).

Love corydoras. One of my favorites. Thank you for using the common names as well ☺️

I love your analogy in the end, it is perfect!

I have an Upsidedown catfish in my 20 Gal community tank. and he is my most favorite fish in the tank. That little guy is awesome.

The corys I bought a few months ago as super small young are doing great! They love my planted tank. I think corys may be my favorite fish of all time.

My most favorite fish is a Mandarinfish because of how much color is has. Love your Channel 🐠🐠🐠💕💕💕

Wish I had found your videos before I got into the hobby! Lol some things I would like to have done differently! Thanks for the inspiration and knowledge!!

So glad Corys were number one. They're a favourite of mine so knowing they're one of the best bottom-dwelling fish is a bonus!

I love my dojo loachs. They are very interactive and love to be held. One of my favorite bottom dwellers.

I’ll have to check them out. I have blue loaches and want to add another variety.

Great choices of bottom feeders. Can't disagree with any of them. I am very favorable to the kuhli loach. My dad had one when I was a boy and I thought he was the coolest ever. He had it for years. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾

I just added 7 to my tank and my tank is super clean. As a cory myself i love having cory’s in my tank! I got the greens. Great fish and lots of motion.

Great video again Cory! I love the Top 5 series Cory! And I love Corydoras!! WOW you even have a Aquarium Co-Op decoration in a tank at the store! haha! I went to a LFS today and bought new fish, Ameca Splendens and some other. When I came home I saw that the Ameca Splendens died and all the other fish were doing great! So I called the store and next time I get new ones. Do you have Ameca Splendens too? What do you think of them? Easy to breed? I would like to here other peoples experience too! *Keep up the good work and thumbs up!* #FishFam #TacoUnion

I’ve got 6 Khuli Loaches and they are so sociable, so active. Gorgeous.

I have 6 cory's and I have a panda cory with one eye. I love the little guys.

Another good option along the lines of Geophagus is the Bolivian Ram. Similar sand sifting behavior but in a much smaller package. I also think they're very attractive and love their personalities.

Love these top 5 vids learn lots of knowledge from these

Love it, Thanks Co-op!

I swear you have neon or cardinal tetra in like 80% of your tanks

I totally agree with you on corydoras! There are so many different varieties, and even though they’re bottom feeders, they have such personality. My favorite patterns are Julii and Albino (both of which I own), but I love them all. I would definitely recommend 10/10

I love my Cories and loaches. They're wonderful fish. Just got an Asian stone cat, so I'm loving bottom feeders

I really want to get some Corys. I have a betta female in a 10 gallon tank and I need to liven things up with something that wouldn't be too fragile like shrimp. Corys are just adorable too and seeing them school together is adorable to me. They also come in some very beautiful patterns and colors.

I love Corydoras I plan on getting maybe 3-4 myself with my new Angelfish community tank :D

you are the man ! thanks for the list!

I love that no matter how old the video is the information is still relevant.

i loved my petricolas! best looking bottom feeder ive ever had

Cory catfish are my absolute favorite fish. I have 9 tanks and would have more if I wasn't afraid of falling through the floor. I have peppered (my favorite kind), bronze, albino, and pandas.

I have 9 kuhli loaches and 9 Java loaches in my community planted tank and they are out visible and active 24 / 7 I haven't notice a single bit of nocturnal traits in my loach school lol

12 gallons is a bit small for a BN. I do love the albino ones though, I might get myself one when my starlight in fully grown.

Were getting a pacostamus soon. I'm so excited!!!

Khuli loaches look so cool but I have never been able to locate a seller of them in the central Texas area. I’ve only been able to find Java loaches. They don’t have the cool striped patterns but virtually act the same. When you get a group of them they are super social and will eat the excess flake food the top fishes leave behind. Mine like to drape themselves over the decorations and “hang out,” you could say. They also do a fantastic job of sifting through the sand substrate and preventing algae buildup on the sand. I love these little guys, they have such a low bio-load too! Can easily get a group of 6 and see virtually no change in your nitrates. Mine are now 3 years old, they didn’t get longer than 3 inches. Want to mention tho if there is an unfortunate death in the tank they will pick the fishy corpse clean until there’s nothing left. One of my juvenile neon tetras developed a crooked-back as it got older and could never keep up with the other neons. Eventually I couldn’t find him, I checked around everywhere but I never found it’s little body.

My amano shrimp are the sole reason my substrate stays as clean as it does. I have 3 of them in my 29g which works perfectly. They're big enough that nobody really messes with them. The 3 of them and my rubber nose pleco are my little work horses

i have two julii cory cats and one emerald cory. i started with more and would like to get them back up in stock once i reestablish my planted tank. i really love the way they dart around together and don't really mess with anything. i'd like to get some otocinclus and shrimp to tidy up my plants maybe some powder blue dwarf gourami's. but first i gotta replace the frames on my 55 because the old top center brace broke after i tried to repair it with glue and plexiglass

I would love a care video about kuhli loaches!!!!!! I love them but mine are always seen and active unlike so many videos suggest.

Omg, my favorite fish as a kid was an albino Corey cat; I swear I had that fish for like 8 years and nothing I had made it past a year

Love Dwarf Chain Loaches - literally just bought 6 today.... If I can find more in a few weeks, I'll probably go to 12 (60G)

Hi I enjoyed this video but would like to know what you think best Bottom feeder to keep with Malawi cichlids is..

Gotta get one of those. Thx

how many geos should you keep together to be happy in the tank. looking to get red stripped or threadfin geos . thank you . perfect videos btw.

what do you recommend for turtle tank? I plan get some fish for my hatchlings. Thx

Great video! Thank you.

Love the fact he said...sure will find more ...as if on a treasure hunt. ...and doesn't know there are more.

Great vid! You promised 5 but delivered much more 😉

My Common placing and my Pakistani Loches along with my Clown Loches do a fantastic cleaning all of them are now about 8 to 12 yrs old tried shrimps many many times but as he said they get eaten up in my tank.I found that the Loches ate among the best cleaners.

iam the only one who sees when cory say number 2 he out ups 3 fingers up?:P so funny hahaha @3:59 hahaha

Great video thx for sharing. Question, in your expertise, will schooling within a species but mixed varieties (I.e. loaches but clown, kulie, queen, tiger, etc) still occur or would all loaches/catfish need to be same type to school?

From what I've found usually they need to be the same type to school, although it may be vaguely possible for different types to school but I've never seen it happen :)

Corys are just the best!

I raise Discus and warm water New World cichilids, so for the longest time Emerald Cories were my go to. Until I found Sumatran 2 Spot Catfish. Favorite little bottom dweller ever.

I got a few of the bronze and they do the trick!
