Siamese Algea eaters. They're grrrrreat!

Barb's, pretty much any kind. I found injecting Co2 to be equally effective..

SAE are barbs, and they are the best, but they do get to 6" each.

Rosey barbs are the most voracious. They won't eat your plants, and they are some of the least agressive barbs around.
