I, myself am actually curious as to what is a good tank cleaning buddy. Obviously I don't expect the new friend to clean the whole tank for me, just aid me and perhaps add some company for my Betta

My worries are the size of my tank and the hostility of my Betta. What are the best cleaners to keep with a Betta?

actually, prince is very,very mellow, but it's kinda funny, he flares at nothing everyonce of a while, and he flares at his food before he eats it!

I would say Shrimp, but they can become snacks haha There's also snails but they produce their own waste which you'd have to clean. @Byte

same story with plecos (snail poop part) my plecos do like 100 in. poops (well not literally)

hey! the type of pleco the store labels said it was was 'large pleco'

"large pleco" would be anything really, but usually a Common Pleco. They can grow to be 12-18".

My pleco poops like there's no tomorrow. I love plecos and snails, why must they be so nasty?

Awwee I'm so sorry :( I was heart broken when I lost one of my two rescues a few months ago. They are amazing fish.
