Bristlenose scavenger friend?

Hello,
I am new to the aquarium world and just started a 29 gallon tank 3 weeks ago, I have 9 glo fish, 3 glo fish tetras, and today i added a wonderful bristlenose to my tank! =] I have some good hiding spots as well as a volcano aerator. My BN is still a little guy and i was wondering what would be a good scavenger friend to help him clean up the bottom of my tank. I also got algae waffers for him. Any advice would be great!

cory catfish are a good friend of the bristlenose. quite cute too

welcome by the way

Yes I listened to Doug and he is spot on with the Corydoras Catfish recommendation. They are tops fish I got 9 juveniles after his recomendation.

Hi,
If it's cleanup your looking for I personally like kuhli loaches (Pangio kuhlii). They are fairly flexible with water parameters and they really do look awesome in my opinion.However if you want to stick with a south american theme then as Doug recomends you can't go past cory's

Thank you Doug, I was thinking of getting a cory but wanted others opinions =]

Also would you suggest just one or more? And what kind of cory do you recommend?

personal fav

Sterbai Cory, fairly common and look nice

Thanks again, would you suggest just one? Also i was reading that sharp substrate can hurt corys when they are scavenging. I currently have Petco Black Lagoon Aquarium Gravel. Is that too sharp for them? I'd post a link to it but i don't have the privilege to yet.

not sure as i dont know that gravel.

How big are the grains? they prefer the finer gravels.

To be honest I have no clue... =[ they a lil smaller then a pea id say

I just added my 3 lil corys to my aquarium and they are getting along great with my other fish and are a fun addition to watch =] thanx for the advice

Cories are great little guys if you like some activity in the tank. What type did you go with? I have Peppered and Leopard

Leopard are they nice looking. I got 3 of each Peppered,Bronze,Albino. I'm lookIng for some Sterabai, if Leopard is easy to find I'll try to get it.

From what the person at the pet shop told me they are spotted corys...prtty darn cute and about an inch long right now!
