is there a tank mate that will clean sand enough where i dont have to use a gravel cleaner/vacuum or is it a neccessary evil to vacuum sand??

i already own 3 otos and a mystery snail along with my betta in my 10g tank.

no not food because i only feed my betta and i never overfeed him. so i would say cleaning waste/bioload (is that the right word) from the betta and the otos.

would going down to 2 otos lessen the waste in the tank greatly, i heard otos crap :p alot??

btw i have 5 or 6 live background plants in the tank, swords and vals.

Nothing eats poop except plants. Shrimp and snails might process the poop of veggie eaters, but they won't eat any actual waste. No matter what you do, you'll have to continue vacuuming (or get live plants!)
