Algea Eater Options With Cichlids And Tiger Barbs.

[LineDropper]

Hello all.

I have 6 tiger barbs and 4 Johanni cichlids. (plan is to ramp up to 8 cichlids this week).

Tank is a 30g.

I'm starting to get some algae buildup on the glass and would like to know what kind of algae eaters I could put in my tank. I see a lot of posts about plecos but it looks like those things can get really big!

Not all pleco's get big but they can be quite expensive; probably a bristlenose catfish would be the easiest/cheapest option.
