What is a bottom feeder?

A Bottom Feeder

an aquatic creature that feeds at the bottom of a body of water

Bottom feeders in aquariums are typically plecos, cory catfish, shrimp, and snails.

They are crucial to keeping a healthy ecosystem. We recommend every aquarium to have some sort of bottom feeder. They are typically called a cleanup crew. We offer a couple of bottom feeders on our website. Our most popular is our Nerite Snails or Ramshorn Snails.
