I'm messing around with my 20 gallon long a little and looking for advice on suitable bottom feeders. Right now there are some female endler's and I just added 2 golden wonder killifish in an attempt to control the population a bit (females have been separated for a couple months, but still popping out babies).
I've had to remove the trapdoor & apple snails because they were getting their antennas nipped off by the endler's. The trapdoors wouldn't even come out in that tank because they were getting picked at so frequently. There are small snails in there as well, but I'm looking for something a bit more effective and interesting to add.
I have kuhli loaches & young bristlenose plecos in my larger tank, and some cories in another. I've been thinking about clearing out some more space on the bottom to add cories, but not sure if the tank will be large enough for a group of them. I'd rather not put kuhlis or plecos in this tank, either, but have been trying to find out if another type of loach would work here. I really do like eel-like fish and fish with a lot of personality, but many I've looked into get too big for this tank. I'm limited with what I can have in my other tanks because of my dwarf shrimp and the tiny male endler's, so I'd like to explore my options a bit here.
Thanks!
(Tank on top is the 20 long with a 10 gallon that I've got NO clue what I'm doing with underneath)
