Algae Eaters.

[jlane1980]

I have some wood on the bottom of my recently set up Tropical Tank. It has some algae growing on it!
Does anybody know if there are any good algae eating fish that would assist me in clearing it? I already have on (soon to be 2) Catfish, scouring the bottom for detritus, but would like something to concentrate on the algae!
I have looked at a few, but they don't quite seem 'compatible' with my tank. I have an AR620T (130l), so i have to keep things relatively small!

Thanks

Jon

As an addition to this, i'm looking at pleco's, do you think these would be a good idea?

A bristle nose would be a good bet.

You could look into Bristlenose's, they would sort out your algea issue.

Also a small school of otocinclus (Oto cats). You could also do apple or nerite snails.
