For awhile I have been thinking about getting a bottom dweller for my 29g. I have a 1 inch+ BN pleco in there right now but as he grows past snack size he will be moved to my 75g. Needs to be ok on a substrate of Flourite and be plant, snail, and shrimp friendly.

This is a photo of the tank.

Could either try another pleco like a Clown Pleco or try something like corydora's. Ummm or could try a Flash Pleco if the pleco route is what you wanna do. What are you looking for just a clean up guy or more activity?

How about some cory's or some small loaches. Looking into Panda Loaches, they're adorable and not supposed to be shy.

I'd really love kuhli loaches but I have gravel. Same thing with cories. They just do soo much better with sand. I'll probably have to go the pleco route if i end up getting anything. Clowns are nice looking and I know I can get them around here. My husband would probably love some little catfish but I don't know what stays small other than certain plecos and cories lol.

Ummm I dont know of any catfish that would fit in you 29 gallon with your stock. I was gonna suggest a Jaguar Catfish but they may try eating your other fish come night time. Pleco's would be your best bet.

There are little bumblebee cats and anchor cats that stay real small, but they all prefer sand. Dang sand lovers!

I think corys would be fine in there. My 29g has flourite bottom with corys, and my 20g has eco complete with corys and they are all doing very well. You could also try some type of dwarf cichlid like gbr's, bolivian rams, apistos. They would love it in there.

Great looking tank by the way!

I plant to add a cichlid someday after my betta passes. I honestly don't really want cories that badly since I have them in the 75g. A shoal of pygmies maybe but we'll see.

CPO's??? lol not a fish but still nice
My husband would LOVE that. He loves crays and shrimp. The shrimp in the tank are the reason I can't have an angel in there so maybe I should just run with it and get some dwarf crays too.
