Small Algae Eater

[EthanF]

hi again guys
 
have been getting some green algae growing on my stone and air stone, it is really hard to clean and its a hassle taking out the air stone so i was thinking of a small algae eater that would suit a 60 litre, my cherries have been munching on some but not enough, i also have some algae on my glass (i could easily clean that tho)
 
I also think its about time  a new addition was added to the tank
 
anybody got any ideas, oh and i could switch off the air stone to let the fish eat the algae

maybe some shrimp or a nerite snail. depending on your stock you could have a group of otos, i wouldnt reccomend a sismease algae eater because they are know to be terrotorial and suck on fish.

3 or 4 Otocinclus could work. The only other option would be snails like Assassin Snail and Nerite Snails.

Yeah my LFS has a fish titled algae eater for £2.45 but I fear it is the Siamese one. Was looking at some ottos but aren't they sensitive ?
