Algae Eater For 180l

[joecoral]

I'm looking for something to help control the algae problem in my 180l tank. I will be adding 10 or so amano shrimp once my LFS gets them back in stock, but I want something else that is an efficient algae eater. I like otocinclus, but I wonder if something so small would be able to cope in a large tank? Other options are either a BN or CAE? Anyone got any other suggestions or recommendations?

I have 2 ottos in my 180 litre. They seem to be doing fine Ottos only really go for the soft green algae though, not most other algaes so might not be ideal.

a bn or a pair of siamese algae eaters will do.

I'd second the BN plec..... I have an albino who just munches all day long!!!! They need some weod to chew on too though!!!

Bulldog plecs and apple snails made my tank squeeky clean! Especially the Bulldogs... They are small (only a couple of inches), active, and ALWAYS hungry! They are like wee hoovers and just don't stop.
