Bottom Feeder

[AquaQueen]

I'm going to the lfs today and need to get another bottom feeder. I had a Chinese Algae eater but he became so aggressive with my fish that I transfered him to my out door pond. What else can I get that woudn't be so agressive? I don't want it to get too huge as I have a 30 gallon tank.

Thanks,
Nep

Any corydoras will do, just remember to buy at least 3 and make sure they are all the same species. If its a algea eating cat you are looking for then bristlenoses could go in the larger tank but the 10 would be too small, otocinclus could go in either tank but need to be kept in groups of at least 3.

I've got a couple of corys and a dwarf pleco in my small tank, apparently this particular pleco will only grow to a few inches long, he's always on the go and havent even seen any algae start to grow since I've had him.

Kuhli loaches will be ok for a 30G, and as CFC mentioned Ottocinclus would be good also.
