Default algae eaters

My 125 heavily planted clean up crew consists of:

10 SAES
4 Albino Bristle Nose Plecos
1 Generic *black* pleco
Estimated 75 Ghost Shrimp *i put in 100 some died*
4 Cory Cats
5 Platys *which have already bread and produced more*

I havent fed the tank in weeks, everything eats algae, which is kinda sad
when you realize i always have algae for them to eat... but i bought ppmd
ill be working on that.

The ghost shrimp really helped, and at .14 each in bulk from the fs - cant
beat it.

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....
