hi, your 2 japanese algae eating sucker fish will get too big & aggressive for a 120l tank i'm afriad.

remove the chinese algae eaters as they will get quite nasty when older and also quite big. maybe add a bristlenose plec instead.

oh ok would they be ok for the time being as they are reasonably small? they seem very good at controlling the algae and i could not realy find much else to do the job.
any reccomendations?

thanks for comment

are blistle noses as good at controlling algae growth?

Bristlenose's are excellent with certain types of algae. However, if you have an algae 'problem' you should really first look at what is causing the issue before you get a fish/invert to help you with it.

How long do you leave your lights on each day?

oh i never really have that much of a problem it just has a tendancy to grow little on my plant and i like a pristeen tank

could i introduce any more fish or is it stocked to the max at the moment?

lights are on 6 hours per dayand i keep low lights/night lights on for another few hours
