So I am setting up a tank to breed GBR's, Its also a Hi-Tech Planted tank. I am getting 3 pairs of GBR's and was wondering if theres any kind of placo I can have that will eat algea however wont be able to eat my fishes eggs and that will work in my tank. also I dont want one big enough to tare up my plants. Also I have no intrest in a BN Pleco, Looking for something cooler and more unique.
I also have 5 Oto's dont know if they will take care of my algea on their own?

75gallon Tank
Low PH
Soft Water
Driftwood,Rocks,Plants
Eco-Complete Substrate
 
I think a bristle-nose. If you want a good algae eater you could get a Siamese algae eater. I love mine and they keep the plants super clean :)
 
my water will be to hot for clown plecos I do love them however I found out that my only real option is a BN pleco, so I just decided that ill allow my 8 Otos to keep my tank clean, I think they will do a great job.

Farlowellas are very unique fish I love them and they are not hard on plants and don't have a huge max size or bio load

All in all they are my favorite fish in this hobby
