well i ended up getting rid of 2 pictus cats, 1 common pleco, and 1 pair of convicts. i figured all of those fish produce more waste than any of my other fish...also they were all mildly agressive. my setup for my 36 gallon is in my sig, i believe im good, correct??

I'll either add 2 more female guppies, or remove 2 males in this setup..... The rest is nicely balanced.
 
the cories want to be in a group of 6+, the ottos also need to be in a group of 3 or more, however adding these fish and balancing out the m/f guppies is gonna p[ut you p[retty heavily stocked so best to remove one of the groups, and balance out the rest of the numbers :good:
 
i think ill take out a male...the corys im going to leave because for one, theyre a happy duo...always out and about, two the pet store i get them from doesnt have any..and wont for a while. as for the otos, im not going to bother. the 1 i had is dead and im going to return him. I heard theyre hard to acclimate????

anyways can you guys help me find a fish to clean up the algae?? if small enough im willing to buy three. i know of th CAE...i want something to suck on the glass, last ones i saw were feeding on something in the water. bristlenose plecos??

You're now pushing it, (getting 3) but a hard working "sucker" type algea machine is the Dwarf otocinclus (afinnis)... but get only 2.... should suffice to round off your total quota...
