Algai Eaters

[bertie6975]

Can you give me suggestions as to what types of algai eaters there are, i'm after one that will grow up to say 10" and will get on with an oscar and a silver shark. I've been keeping fish a couple of years, but know little about types or breeds, i just know how to look after them.

what about a janitor fish..
for me they are the best at cleaning everything..
from walls of the aquarium to gravel..hehe
i have about 15 inch of janitor fish.. i dont know thereal name but its usually black, hard and has sharp scales..
so other fish dont bother it as long as other fish wont bother it in its duties..haha
