So I want to set up a 10 gallon tank for my eventual angelfish fry and was wondering what would be some good inverts to keep in the tank so I don't have an empty box of water between spawns. I'm assuming I'll be looking at snails. I'll be setting up a sponge filter after I hit up my petco tomorrow for a tank and I will likely just grow some java moss in the tank and possible keep it bare bottom.
 
Fan shrimp are your best bet. Shrimp of the Genus' Atya and Atyopsis are filter feeders and should be safe with fry. Just ensure the shrimp have suitable hiding places the adult angels can't enter so the shrimp can accomplish their molts in private.
