If you have peaceful fish, get some Corydoras catfish.
If your fish are aggressive, their are several other kinds of catfish to pick from, or any of the cichlid families will also eat from the bottom, although the cichlids may tear up any plants you may have, looking for food.
Stay away from reptiles, crustaceans and snails. They cause more trouble than they cure.

Noting will eat ALL the crap food at the bottom of your tank but corydors catfish are good and I have African dwarf frogs. don't know if they do a very good job eating the crap on the bottom but they sure are fun to watch. Otocinclus Catfish are good but there mainly an algae eater. GOOD LUCK

Get some cory cats and also do paritial waterchange of 25% a week with a gravel siphon, and don't overfeed your fish, only what they will eat in 3-5 min per feeding
Hope that helps
Good luck

Any kind of Loach and many kinds of catfish such as cory cats and pictus cats. There are also shrimp that will do this job such as ghost shrimp.
