Algae Eater

[bertolli]

Hey all,
Won that 5 gallon and a bunch of plants at the last meeting so I made it a planted tank. I just moved everything into a 10g tonight because I wanted to go a little bigger... I'll probably end up turning one of my 55's into a planted once I can afford a light. My question right now is if there is any fish/pleco that will eat algae like a BN but stay under 4 inches?

nevermind for some reason all i could think of when I posted this was BNs I guess ill get some shrimp.

nerite snails, otocinclus, and various species of shrimp are all good algae eaters. Rachel has nerite snails and amano shrimp, and she used to have otocinclus, I'm not sure whether she's sold out or not.

+1 for otocinclus in a planted tank... just don't try to put Africans in with them.
