Should I pick up a Corydoras or two for the uneaten food?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">IMHO Corydoras are not a fish to get while a tank is still cycling, they are very sensitive to nitrates, nitrites and amonia, as for clown loaches that would be the equivalent of taking a queen angle and putting it in a 20 gal tank, they grow large, but they do grow slowly so you have time to move them to larger tanks later. I have found Kalua loaches to be a wonderfull bottom cleaner, the love to dig into the sand and get at all the food. I have a good book with info on different fresh water fish so if you want any info let me know the type and I will either scan the page or high lite the info for you.
