My moderate-low light/low tech guppy tank has nothing but red ramshorns for
scavengers, and is SPOTLESS. At various times I've introduced ottos and
shrimp, more out of boredom than necessity, and they've gradually been
starved out by the snails.

What would you recommend for a clean up crew for a 55G planted tank? So
far
I'm thinking of getting 6 Jullii cory cats to take care of any extra food
reaching the bottom. However, I'm still undecided what to get to take
care
of the algae. Is an Otto better than a SAE? Or do they just eat
different
algae? How many should I get of each? Does it matter which species of
Ottos? Any shrimp that you would recommend (they would need to survive
the
company of swordtails, guppies, kribs, siamese fighting fish, and some
tetras)? The only thing that I don't want is a pleco, I just don't like
the
look of them.

Thanks,
Harry

P.S. My tank specs a 7.4ph, ~7dh, 1.6wpg, dosing with Fluorish & Excel
