sand stirrer uppers

[gobucks1]

i have a 20H with sand substrate and some semi aggressive fish. a lot of crap has been settling on the bottom of the tank and i was wondering if there was a fish, a small geo or something, that could stir up to bottom for me but live in the tank for life.

any ideas?

they would stir up the sand on the bottom?

maybe a couple of cories or put in some malaysian trumpet snails

yeah i was thinking cories, i just dont really like the way they look, but if there is nothing else thats what ill do.
isnt there some kind of small geo that could do it?

what about a digging fish like coolie loaches?

my pleco does a good job at that

Maybe bolivian rams? I notice my pair sifting through the sand for food at times. Not sure how aggressive your semi-aggressive tank is though..they are pretty passive.

well, im growing out a crenicichla regani who is still about 2" and i have two jewel cichlids and the meanest blue gourami there ever was, i had to take her out of my mbuna tank because she was messing with everyone.

kuhlis might work if i can find some big ones
