Default Safe To Have w/Fry?

Are there any bottom feeders that would be safe to put in "nursery" (fry) tank?

Corys, Pleco, and Shrimp. None of those have ever bothered any of my fry.

Id say it depends on the pleco. My Sailfin will eat fry. Cories and shrimp should be fine though.

Be aware of the shrimp...
I hade two ghost shrimpies with three baby swordtails and the male shrimp caught one of them and tried to eat it! Luckily it got away.

Cories shouldn't be a problem though, although I have noticed that they eat their own eggs!

Thanks everybody for the help!!

I was wanting to go with Cories, but I wasn't sure how they would do. I don't much care for the little shrimp, they look like creepy little sea bugs to me.

The only way I seem to be able to get fry is to buy them, so I don't want to take a chance in losing them!

YIPES! I think that makes you an expert!

Thank you, I will do some research on them. I am not sure what they look like.
