Algae eater in brackish tank?

[Tiger_lover224]

I'm going to be starting a brackish tank in a 20 gallon tank with gobies and flounders and I really want a algae eater but I do not know what kind can stand salt please help

Nerite snails as long as you don't have anything that will eat them ie. Puffer

amano shrimp can be kept in brackish conditions as well.

Is there any type of like pleco or anything but snail that can be in a brackish tank because I'm going to get a puffer when the tank is all set up

 

[blackmolly]

i'm pretty sure all plecos are strictly freshwater. what type of puffer?

 

[Tiger_lover224]

Maybe a figure 8 or green spotted puffer

GSP's will eventually need a marine setup. if i'm thinking about the right puffer when you say figure eight, they don't get all that big, so they might actually be ok with something as big as a nerite.
