As the title states. What's the most interesting bottom feeder u guys n gals have keep with success with your pbass. I'm looking to add something other than a birchir (just not a fan) or rays (cause alrdy have a few in there own setup). Taking all suggestions.
 
I've had a juruense with my bass which I thought was awesome plus you don't see them too often now a days. I had a vulture cat in the past with my guys and currently have one in my tank. I also had a black wolf fish with my bass for years. Although they aren't bottom feeders, my bass ate pretty aggressively so the wolf stuck to the mid to bottom half of the tank. Next I think I may get into some exotic plecos.

I had thought about a pleco but I never have any luck with them.

Pick one that you like and research it to see if it prefers meat or veggies and to see if it's nocturnal or diurnal. Try to pick a species that best fits with bass
 
Still tickled to death with my striped Raphael, Orson Wells. :) He's about 10 inches long now. Biggest damned Raphael I've seen, but I love him to death. Does a great job on clean up, since he eats protein-rich food. He is well armored enough and confident enough in his size that he's reasonably active during daytime.

I have polys and a curupira. So far polys. Yesterday I lost the moke to the tem. In which he started choking and ended up throwing him up
I'd love to do a poly but I wanna grow one out and I'm a lil worried that my biggest azul would look at it as food
 
Even though they dont live at the bottom of the tank, they feed off the bottom iv got a high fin pangasius with my peacocks and then when they're big enough to go into my main tank they'll be in with my albino pangasius
