Hi all, I've been cycling my new 68ltr tank at 28C, very soft rainwater, driftwood, etc. TBH I'm not doing a lot at the moment with measuring parameters as I can't walk due to an op. So I've been researching fish ... Here's the tank FYI.

Btw, would the driftwood in the tank cause the brown algae? It's rainwater tank supply of water in the aquarium, could it be from the outside tank tannins?
So... what do you think of this for a community tank:
2 X Blue Rams,
1 X Dwarf gourami
6 X Cardinal tetras
Plus.. I was wondering about an algae eater but from my research I can't seem to figure one that won't be a high bio load (like a pleco), or I was thinking I might need to stay away from a bottom dweller (like an Oto) which will clash with the Rams, oh - and any suitable candidate needs to like a temp of 28C and ph 6.5.
A bristle nose is all I can come up with, is that the best option, any ideas would be great!
I like the Oto's.. They are cute, but will they cause lower tank conflict with the Rams? And would 2 be better than 1?
Thanks for any feedback![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
