Algea Cleaners Opinions On Otto And Bristlenose?

[JArnold]

would an otto or two b a better option for algea cleaners than a bristlenose in a 20 gallon tank. of course size plays a lrage factor in this the otto being only small (and the tank being perhaps too small for a BN) not too sure about how they compare on algae consumption

anyone any opinions

Common BN's don't grow too large for a 20, though a 4-5" fish does take up a bit of stocking space and poop a lot for a small tank. On the other hand, they are hardier than Oto's. Oto's are social fish, best kept in groups, maybe a little less on the poop factor. They are good for cleaning algae off of live plants.
