What term describes organisms that live on the bottom of aquatic habitats?
Bottom Feeders. The term can be used to describe any organism which primarily dwells and feeds at the bottom on any aquatic habitat. However, it's most often used to describe organisms added to their tanks by aquarium enthusiasts in order to keep their tanks clean. In this case, bottom feeders will either consume the food left uneaten by the tank's main residents or the algae which grows within the tank itself. Examples of bottom feeders available commerically for home fish tanks are Caridina Multidentata, a type of algae eating shrimp, and Ampullariidae or Apple Snails, which consume excess food, rotting vegtation, etc.
