Mini bottom feeder for 30g

[Mercury]

What's a good bottom feeder that can be put in a 30 gallon tank? I'm interested in one that stays pretty small, and likes soft-watered and acid tanks with lots of plants.

How about some Amano shrimp? It will depend on your fish, but those are great for all kinds of hairy algae.

Kuhli loaches are another interesting choice, as long as your substrate isn't sharp.

Cory Cats!!!!

Ghost Shrimp would work well too, cheap and the clean up the stuff on the bottom.

So far, I know I will be putting in a couple of Bolivian rams. They'll be ok with the shrimp?

How about some corydoras'?
I've got some peppered cories (which I have bred) and they are extremely cute and hardy, at least mine are.
They get about 2 inches long but there are other types that will stay smaller.
I think the fish profiles on MFT have some info. Check it out.

Oh please no!!!!! All mine do is sit around and poop. If you want a good scavenger get a bumblebee catfish. They only get 3 in.
You could also get some yoyo loach. IMO the coolest looking not catfish bottem feeder there is.
