I need a scavenger for my 110g. I'm just looking for suggestions I've removed the BIG midas so now all thats in the tank is the

female labiatum (shes fairly calm), my 2 featherback knives (P. Afer), 1 bowfin 9-10in. (shes going outside this spring), 12in. Delhezi, and 17in. Ornate

I've recently started feeding them cut market shrimp, cut up worms, and frozen beef parts (heart, liver, and just the meat)

I am looking for a scavenger that will cruise the bottom and pick up the meat they don't eat I'm tired of waking up every mornin going down there to net up all the meat they didn't eat during the night

WALKING CATS WOULD BE MY DREAM (IF THEY I COULD FIND SOME i'll take them from 1 inch on up)

BUT JUST LOOKING FOR SOME SUGGESTIONS

they will eat the fresh meat?

Hey man, long time no see!

Yes, they will eat meat. Not like piranhas obviously but if pieces are bite sized, synos will devour them with gusto. My advise would be to go with eaither a eupterus (commonly found at LFS) or a bit more rare and pricey giraffe cat.
 
get all kinds of dithers, or more bichirs, or dont over feed. are you looking for recommendations for a certain catfish? you did post it in the catfish forum.
