Algae Eaters

[GlennC]

Hi all

I'd like to know, what have people kept in their African tanks, aside from bristlenose catfish, to keep the algae down?

I saw some borneo suckers the other day that looked interesting, but was told they only like soft water.

Any smaller cichlid that can be kept as a single specimen; I sought of got the impression that a lot of the vegetarians seem to like to live in groups.

I'm thinking of getting rid of the bristlenose as they're breeding too often, but also because they do excrete a lot.

Cheers

Glenn

just a thought but snails are the best way to keep food waste and alge down just make sure before adding them they can get out of hand if you over feed pluss they are hard the get rid of if you can find the balance of snails they are gr8 i could never try them i accedent once in early fish keeping has scared me but but think about it ?
