If what you mean is, are there any fish, that eat fish waste (feces).
None
If you mean, fish that eat uneaten fish food, plant scraps, etc, then yes, some plecos and other bottom dwellers, but then they produce at least the same amount of waste, that they have eaten.

the electric blue gravel vac does pretty well, peaceful at times but when there's poop it can get aggressive

No fish will eat fish feces, but many will eat left over food. Fish feces is mostly fiber and has no nutritional value. Plecos eat left over food and eject long strings of fiber only if they consume enough algae.

don't try to get a pleco to eat the poop, they poop like double what they eat i feel like

Plecos don't eat poop. They eat algae and left over food. Plecos don't generate long strings of poop if there is no algae to consume.

That isn't my experience.

The famous combo of gravel vacuum fish, hose fish and bucket fish remove fish waste.

The best part is, they can live outside the water and you don't even have to feed them!
