Fish to pick up scraps

[andrewsin]

My polys leaves lots of Massivore bits in the tank, what fish does everyone have to pick up thee scraps bits??

tinfoil barbs or any bigger barbs do the job many keep them with rays.

I've got a pair of jurupari eartheaters that are doing okay with my polys, but they require a sand substrate

Silverdollars, their shape discourages most fish from trying to eat them and they eat just about anything. I wouldn't use anything torpedo shaped with polys, they will pick them off.

+1 for anything non-torpedo shaped including loaches. Just can't help themselves and attempt a bite or two.

I have silver dollars and bala shark.

I have SD'S and a couple of large Geo cichlids that do a pretty good job eating fresh scraps.

I had sd's in the past and they are the only fish i really do dislike.... garbage cans with fins they would literally out compete my oscar.... but yeah they are good for clean up

i have tinfoil barbs and they do great, sometimes they eat most of the food before the poly's though
