Fishes have their own place where they are most comfortable at. Top feeders are fishes who like to live close to the surface of the water. Middle feeders are fishes who want to swim around at the center, and the bottom dwellers are the ones who want to stay around the bottom of the tank and eat the food that drops there. Among these types of fishes, the bottom dwellers are the most helpful to the fish community. They eat the food that touches the bottom of the tank and prevents these substances from ruining and spoiling the tank that can possibly cause numerous diseases. They also help prevent algae from increasing.

The fish species that are able to get along very well with others include the following: plecostomus, sword-tails, gouramis, guppies, danios, cory cats, gold fishes, and corydoras catfish that are excellent bottom dwellers.

Whichever aquarium freshwater fish you have decided to keep, the most important thing to remember is to be patient and responsible to your pet fishes.
