Leftover food or more so algae eater?

 

[Jewel_cichlid03]

A little of both but mostly left over food and waist

Well if there's left over food feed less and no fish will eat poop.

African feather fin. Mine does an awesome job on the left over food.

Whats the max size on aff's i heard like 5 -6 in but im not sure ?

I like Plecos and San Raphael Catfish. I know that there are other tough cats out there that can scurry around the bottom.

i like aff's and the raphaels are really nice

That's about right. They grow pretty quick, and I have zero problems with any aggression towards/from him.

Unfortunately, they will eat fry.

As long as i dont try to leave them in there for any extended amount of time i think the two adults could defend them against the aff for a lil while

I agree with all the cats listed. I personally love raphael catfish and I personally think in my opinion most plated catfish will work.

Convicts with fry can and will hold their own against almost any fish....also convicts will breed like it or not lol there like rabbits.

I was looking online and saw something about lace catfish
