I was told that a cleaner fish like corys could clean up the tank for the leftwover food and contribute to the better quality of the water.
My problem with that logic is that the cleaner fish will have to breath, poop and do other thing too. So I think in order for the cleaner fish to live and grow, the net effect on the tank water can only be worse becaus the fish can only extract a samll % of energy from the food. More goes to the waste as the result.
My point is that we maybe better off just let the leftover go rotten and vac them out from time to time. Where did I go wrong with this logic?
