I don't know if a golden algae eater would be suitable; I don't know what tank size they can have - they are "warm" water fish but they are also sold as cold-water; I have them in my cold water tank; however the water is never "that" cold and it's never icy.

I should add if you want a fish to eat the algae it won't do a great deal to the algae.
