Question About Algea Eaters.

[overboard]

So according to my only two local pet stores, they have both stopped selling otocinclus. They have a ton of Chinese algea eaters (which I had 6 years ago and will never buy again, they get too big and aggressive), I was really looking forward to getting couple of ottos for the clean up crew. I really dont want anything big for my tank I really like how ottos are small. And I have a bit of brown algae growing and live plants. Just wondering if you guys have any thoughs of other small cleaners so next time I go looking I'll a few more ideas. They have lots of fish but no ottos. What else eats brown algae? I have a 29 gallon planted tank. I might ask if they make special orders.

Did either say why they no longer sell otos?
That's weird because today I went to my LFS and couldn't find the otos either. I didn't see them in the usual tank and they were no where else to be found. sigh. They were cool, but I never had great luck with them. I was hoping I would get some for my new 55 gallon.
Our store takes orders of anything, so maybe try that if you are stuck on the idea! They should be able to accomodate you.
