Cory cats with loaches and parrot cichlids?

I have a 55g with parrot cichlids and yoyo loaches. I also have a mystery snail and need something to keep the tank clean. Would a school of Cory cats work? I just don't want the loaches to harass them

    Cory Cats should be OK, but if want something that cleans the algae as well, get a few Bristlenose plecos. They stay under 4.5 inches, are great tank cleaners, and very peaceful.
