Algae/snail Cleaner - What's Best

[Rackie]

I have just started to stock my tank now that the fishless cycling has completed. At the moment I have a trio of Peppered Cory's and a group of six Zebra Danio's.

What I am after is a fish to take on the role of clearing any snails and algae that may be present (although I have been fortunate that these have not really been a problem).

My heart is set on a Clown Loach but my tank (65 litres) is not suitable for this particular fish so I have been looking at alternatives and so far have seen the following at my LFS:

Pakistani Loach
Otto's

Any opinions on which is best to get? Obviously whichever one I choose will need to be in at least a pair or are there any other alternatives out there that someone can recommend?

Yo-Yo loaches grow to 4 inch (sometimes larger) and beacuse they prefer to be in pairs or groups they would be better suited to a larger tank.

I would go for 2-4 ottos
