I need help finding a colorful bottom dweller. I would get a clown loach but i have ssen them get so big, i would eventually not be able to handle it. I have a 20g, with a few dwarf gouramis and a baby angel fish. I just cant seem to find anything with some color to it. Any suggestions?
 
There is many different variations of corys available, you would want a group of at least 4, they are very entertaining.
 
Rams are really pretty bottom dwellers, but they wouldn't work for your tank, unless you got rid of the angelfish (which will get too big anyway). How many dwarf gouramis do you have? I would keep only one, add a pair of rams, and a school of small tetras.
 
i have 3 gouramis, they are the focus i think they are awesome. I absolutley hate, let me emphasize, hate, tetras, danios and anything else like them. I have no idea where the those feelings came from but i think they all might as weel be feeder fish. I will be upgrading within six months meaning i could but a little loach or something in now but i want something smaller, i think ill go hunting for some colorful cory's.
 
Cories aren't extremely colorful...just entertaining. You'll find alot of them are silver with black on them. There are Emerald cories (actually Brochis splendens and not Corydoras) that are greenish, but they'll eventually outgrow your tank, as they get 3+ inches.

Look for some spotted cories, Bandit cories, or Panda cories. These aren't colorful, but are pretty cute fish.

Kuhli loaches are Black and orange-ish....and they'd be fine in your tank. Get atleast 4.
