Scavenger Shrimp

Does anyone have any recommendations for freshwater shrimp that help keep
the tank clean by eating dead/decaying plant leaves?

Ghost shrimp will do the job..and they're cheap.
They will prey on fry though.

Thanks. I had those before, but I think my Bala sharks ate them all!
(That's probably why they got so big so quick!)

Then don't do shrimp. Try snails.
