Best algae eater for 29 gal. Blackwater tank

[Jonathan August]

I was looking for a small (under5 in.) algae eater for my show tank, as my plants haven't started fighting for nutrients yet. I'm leaning to oto cats,bushy nose, or rubber lip.


Thanks,

Ottos or bush nose are likely your best bet. Rubber lips really need a tank more like a hillstream loach tank.

One good option if you can find one(or two) would be the L-183(Starlight BN pleco).

I'll try and find it, don't think I will though. Here's a photo of the tank.

I've seen starlights at pristine aquarium. Very cool.
