You might wanna try otto's but you'll need a whole lot of thm cause they only grow to be liek an inch and a half or so. If you wanna get a pleco get a rubber nose or a candy stripe pleco which only get tp be six inches long.

It depends on the type of algae. Otos are good for the most common brown-green algae and two or three would go good in a tank your size. Siamese Algae Eaters are great for black brush algae but I wouldn' recommend more than one for a tank that size. American-Flag Fish are great for controlling thread algae.

Oto catfish are great cleaners

The zebra oto and the candy stripe pleco are both adorable fish, and great for cleaning from what I've read
