Need A Pleco

getting a pleco to fix an algae issue isn't what will work. first you need to find the reason why you are having the algae bloom. cut down on food to limit excess nutrients in the water, less lighting etc..
 
And to control minor algae problems I would get 1 or 2 oto cats, they get only about 3" so their pretty good for most aquariums.
 
I agree, find out what's causing the algae first before buying a fish to solve it.
Even a plec won't keep your tank 100% free from algae & they are poop machines so you could end up with more cleaning to do
 
oh i have not got an algae bloom i just have a bit on the glass and i would like one because i think their cool on the glass
 
Bristle nose plecos are great! They stay relatively small only get to around 5-6 inches. I've had mine almost a year and he's about 3.
 
Oh wow, my bad, I was thinking gallons, not liters. In that case probably otos are your best bet, the bristle nose is one of the smaller plecos.
