I posted in earlier part of last week that my bristlenose passed away. What I was wanting to know is some alternatives to a bristlenose and pleco that would do the work of a bristlenose! I know that there is cory's; but any suggestions would be wonderful!
Thanks

Snails work wonders, ghost shrimp also do a good job. Both are interesting to look at also.

Guess I should have included what is in my tank, it is a 55 gal.

one small angelfish
5 platies (males)

And that is it for right now.

Any other suggestions would be great. Thanks everyone!
