Siamese algae eaters, Bristlenose pleco, or some of the other smaller varity of pleco you can get, or as Wilder said Otto are nice as well



The one algae eater you want to avoid is a Chinese algae eater because they get violent no matter what you try, i lost one of my very favorite swordtails because the stupid store never told me how aggressive CAE got, and they are commonly confused with SAE...

I aint too sure about golden loaches, i have never kept one myself, because they look along the lines of a CAE and i try to keep clear of them
