Otocinclus Catfish

@Gill they probably won't do too well as it's that hard.
A female bristlenose would be ok if you just wanted algae control, try to get a smaller one (like mine), she gets on with it (algae clearance) whether she's been fed or not.

@plankton thank you, I thought perhaps that would be the case. I had hoped Otos would be suitable partly due to their size, as I only have a small tank (65L). Wouldn’t Bristlenose be too large for me?

I think one would be fine in a 60+ litre tank

I keep a female bristlenose in one of my 64l tanks and she gets on fine, I had every intention of moving her to a bigger tank but she seems happy in her current tank... as much as you can ever tell if a fish is happy, but she is feeding well, active and never caused any issues, I've had her over a year now so I would assume she is pretty much fully grown.

Mine are the smaller ones (except for "Grumpygraws") and aren't too big at all, only about 3"-3.5". "Grumpy" is about 4.5" and is in the 105l with the guppies and panda corys.

Ha ha, thanks all, I’ll see if they have any good lookers at the lfs.

If you ask my OH none of them are good looking and I cant repeat what she said Sarah looked like
