Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / Would a biological dishwashing machine be feasable?

I was thinking just now as I was washing the dishes how convienient a dishwashing machine would be. But then I started thinking about how much energy and water they use, and wondered if it would be possible to have a tub one could descend a rack of dishes into, and have them picked at and literally licked clean by either microbes, or some sort of small fish, or any kind of life that would digest it?
It would obviously be alot slower than washing them by hand or machine but it would fit a balance between my chronic laziness and my desire to be energy efficient
Whatever the organism/s were would have to be able to digest a reasonably wide range of foods, or perhaps you could have more than one tank? Pirahna's first up for the big scraps?
