Best type of bottom "cleaner"

[jake renouard]

I have a 90 gallon ca cichlid tank with a 10 inch mota that is extremely messy. This fish will eat some pellets spit some out eat halves of other... anyway i dont overfees but no matter what there is ledtover pellet fragments at the bottom(looks bad on my black substrate) want to get some bottom feeders to maybe help this

Was thinking some loaches maybe some clownes, or catfish which and what species would be best for this. Thanks

I really don't know how your Mota would react to CL's but do you have any driftwood or ornaments in your aquarium for a nocturnal species like a Raphael catfish.
