I have a 20 gallon long tank with Endlers, celestial pearl danios, and snails. There is a baby albino bristlenose pleco that is living in there now until it's big enough for my 54 gallon. I am looking for ideas for very small bottom dwellers (under 2") that would get along with my current fishes. I had considered kuhli loaches, but I think they may get too big for my setup. Any advice?

I have a 37 which is like 2 20long's stacked on top of each other, and my khuli's don't seem too big at all. Personally I'd go with a school of pygmy corydoras (habrosus cories are my favorite). I've seen them before at Lovely Pets in Quincy, but I' not sure if they still have them.

Also, I know that most loaches are snail devourers, so khuli's might mess with the snails you currently have.

I have rosy loaches in a 20g long & their natural tankmates are galaxy rasboras (celestial pearl danios). My friend offered hers up today, they seem perfect! That's what I'm thinking...
