Corydoras habrosus (dwarf cory)

Corydoras pygmaeus

Ember tetra (Hyphessobrycon amandae)

schooling helps, wouldn't do fewer than 7. mine get chased maybe once a week, nothing serious

Nerite snail

only works once the tank's already grown some algae. new tank + nerite = it starves, learned that the hard way

Amano shrimp (Caridina multidentata)

this one's a coin flip. my current betta ignores them, my last one treated it like a snack dispenser

Malaysian trumpet snail

Otocinclus catfish

(quarantine new fish) lost half a shipment to ich before I started doing this
