Hey, I don't have any suggestions for you, but good to see you up and running. For me, just 6-8 inch common Pleco.

Bristle Nose..... albino or regular

For me the only thing that works is bn plecos but they are not tang

bn are so ugly....i have had them in the past.....are there any cool tangs that eat algae.. but wont bother my xenos and soon to be cyp colony....ps thanks all for the replys...

Are you going to have alot of rock ? I ask because ....if you do...then you really won't see the bn plecos much . I just think that two or three in your tank won't be that noticeable . Plus , they do an awesome job on the algae .

no dave only four rocks in the tank....they are bigger but i have them spread out two middle and one on each end....there just has to be something out there i am just missing it...i have been all over the internet for 2 days and still cant find the right fish...i might just have to use an algae pad and a magnet...

i am just coming to realize that the only thing i can do is use less light....that is ok because the fish i am keeping arent big light fans anyway....i will just use an algae glove and magnet to keep tank clean...i would like to thank everyone for there input and fishbox people are very helpful....mickey...
