brown algae!

what type of fish eats brown algae??

Although I've never owned them, I hear otos or Otocinclus Affinis are good brown algae eaters. In fact I recall reading that its good to have a tank with plenty of brown algae when you add otos so they have plenty to eat while they are acclimating. Since I'm not speaking from experience though, I could be wrong.

I used otos to get help with the brown algae problem I had. They helped in keeping it under control. Now I have some kind of green algae Be aware, these guys will help with the problem but can't get rid of it.
