                                Bottom feeders, a diverse group of aquatic species, consume organic material from the substrate of their habitats. The term often carries negative connotations, suggesting these creatures are dirty or unhealthy. However, this is largely a misconception, as a bottom feeder can be a beneficial and fascinating addition to an aquarium or a delicious and healthy choice for a meal.
