Default Best Scavenger Fish Advice

To all sifus,

I am looking for a scavenger fish to help me clear out all those tiny bits of MP (those that detach from the "main" chunk) during feeding. The fish preferably would not get too large (around 25cm?) but yet must be big enough so that it would not become a feeder to my Arowana. Please give me your advice and opinions. Thanks!

common tankmates include ERH, EBH, TFB, SD, MS, IT etc.

I just let the filter do the job.

No fishes will eat scraps if they have the chance to eat the main chunks of MP. In the end, they may be faster than your main fishes.

Clown loach is very good. Clear every single pc of left over. Also eliminate snail problem if you happen to have.
