Future Algae Control?

[laurac94]

Hi all,
Im going to be moving my sailfin pleco into a new tank in the next month or so and he currently does an excellent job at keeping the tank completely free of algae. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas of what I can replace him with because he is in with my red belly piranhas. The tank is also too small to house any fish above the size of my reds which is why I am moving my sailfin.

I also have assassin snails in there so any small snails are not really an option either.
Any ideas? ;-)

Lower light hours and a algae scrapper? rofl

Yeah true lol ;-) will assassins kill apple snails? I dont have any plants for them to destroy

If they are smaller then yes
