Recommend Me An Algae Eater For This Tank

[Katch]

I have a 24G nano cube - its roughly an 18" cube and holds about 80 litres. Currently inhabbited by a rair of Rams, 7 Pygmy Corys, 9 Neons and 7 Splash Tetra.

I have a small amount of algae growth but the tank is fairly young so I expect more. What would be a good fish to introduce to keep it grazed? I'd prefer something that is happy solo and with low bioload.

Have you considered a single Bulldog Pleco perhaps?

I would say a shrimp for bioload but it wouldn't be able to keep up!

i'm considering some shrimp but not sure if my rams would consider them a snack...

how about a single siamese algae eater! fantastic at cleaning algea from a tank.
would say a bristle nose plec but they're a bit messy!

I would also recommend a Bulldog Pleco. A Siamese Algae Eater would need a tank around 150 litre as they grow into giants.

I would recommend amano shrimps with rams, but I had cherries with mine and although they tried to get at them the cherries always jumped out of the way.
I'd also recommend an apple snail or two.

Edit: Perhaps 5-10 shrimps and an apple snail.
