bottom feeders for SA cichlid tank

[vass69]

What is a good hardy bottom feeder that you guys keep in your SA cichlid tanks?

I have 4 clown loaches and a spotted high fin pleco

the clown loaches get somewhat large if im not mistaken... anyone else?

I had Yoyo's they got to about 4-5" and did a great job until the Trimacs breed, then the male killed them.

Loaches do get large eventually but it takes years. I had my loaches for a year and a half. I bought them at about 3" and they were only about 5" when I sold them.

rafael cats have worked for me, for more wimpy SA like geos and severums, larger cories should do fine

what at the best bottom feeders/scavengers you guys have had?

Clown Loaches for sure always look good in a S/CA cichlid tank. Get aleast 6 so they stay active.

Plecos, plecos and more plecos. I know some don't like them, but they've worked fine for me. My favorite is a marble sailfin pleco, but he's already getting pretty big.
