I have a 15 gallon planted tank with a school of silver tip tetras..

I was wondering if there are any bottom dwelling fish that might work and not eat my plants!

cories or kuhli loaches are your best option. Both stay fairly small and are gentle on the plants.

These are a fwe i have had in my planted 15g over the years(they weren't all in the tank at the same time).

Otos
some of the smaller cories(i had pandas but pygmy cories would work great)
1 BN or clown pleco
Ghost and amano shrimp
zebra snails(dont' eat plants and wont' produce millions of babies)

I keep farlowellas, otocinclus, cories, and a million ghost shrimp in my planted tank.
