I am sure you guys have been asked this question a hundred times, but, I think I know what two I am considering.
My tank is cycled and I am now thinking of getting an algae eater. The tank has been up and running for at least a month and a half now.

Ive been studying different kinds of fish, and I'm thinknig of getting the clown pleco or the bushy nose catfish. What do you think? Does the busy nose really need driftwood, or will they be ok with fake driftwood cave? The driftwood is jsut so expensive from what Ive seen.
I understand both need to have some cave or log they can hide in, and I have two in my tank. One of them the cory catfish tend to use.

Also, will they be okay with cory catfishes? I have 6 of those.

Thanks for your help.

Bristle(byshy)noses should be fine with corys as long as the tank is not too tiny. IME bristlies can get a bit possessive with food but are otherwise peaceful. My female BN shares with 3 paleatus corys.

Not sure if they need bogwood or just like it.
