Plecos And Algae Eating

[ebrcknrdg]

Simple question-do all plecos eat algea?

Im after a small plec for a 125L (33USg) that will keep my tank clean of green algae. Im thinking of a Bristlenose or a Queen Arabesque

Not all will.

The bristle nose will be the better option out of those two options.

Qa's are predominantly carnivorous, certainly not an effective algae eater.

Are there any other small plecs that will eat algea?

Although the fish index says they will not my Clown Plec cleans spots of green algae(I've seen him do it) from the glass/bogwood and will also eat the brown algae that seems to grow only on my filter uplift tube.

They stay small, 3-4 inches I believe, and the one I have is a very active little fish.
