Default algae eaters

otocinclus affinis or suckermouth catfish I think you're referring to do a
magnificent job on green algae on plants and the brown diatom type. Not
sure about their compatability with SAE's though as I think my otos stressed
my very young introduced SAE's to death.

I currently have 3 CAE, 4 SAE, and a pleco in my 125g, there is still a
problem with algae, I'm thinking about getting a couple more SAE's so

maybe
they will school, but I heard there was an "ocil...." something that was
like a small pleco, but can clean leaves better and not harm them...can
anyone fill me in with info on this critter as well as the different types
(if there are) and the sizes they get.....I currently have 1.5" SAE's in

my
tank of cichlids with no problem, the cichlids pretty much mind their own
business....
