Aquarium Advice FINatic
I have been running a high functioning 55 gallon planted tank for about 5 years now. I have amazing canister filtration, bar heater, and high quality plant lights. Fish include 5 large Congo Tetras, 7 Pristella maxillaris, 10 Harlequin Hasbora, 3 Bronze Corydoras, 1 Corydoras Trilineatus and 4 Otocinclus.
I have drift wood, lava rock and live plants that develop large amounts of algae and I need a non aggressive small to medium sized hardy algae eater to tackle this chore. What species do you recommend?
No Chinese Algae eaters, maybe a small species of Pleco or something? I am also worried about plant damage as some algae eaters eat plants also. I need something small to medium sized that won't eat plants or strip my fish of scales.
