I was wondering the above Q so thought i'd start a thread which will answer these questions
At minute i got just about every type of algae in tank: Brown,Green spot,Green stringy,Black kinda stringy,Black furry on bogwood and finally a browny green stringy type that seems to be slowly killing my cryptocorynes that is impossible to wipe off.Excellent descriptions,i know!
Anyway i got a 240l planted community tank,im getting 3 or 4 otos.
So can anyone recommend any other fish or invertabraes?All thoughts welcome

ottos are good small and effective.. the need good consistant water conditions though.. um corydoras will pick upt left over food on the bottom of the tank and eat some surface algae not alot though..amano shrimp will eat algae.....and theres also many types of loaches..your tanks 60 us gallons so when you reasearch you can use that instead of looking for sites that are in metric..any more ?

Ah cheers for link carol. Im going to get 4 otos and see what kind of shrimp are available,would ike some cherry shrimp.Carol would you see any problem with putting cherry barbs in with dwarf loaches n danios?

No don't see any problem with compatability at all. Loaches like several of their own kind and so do cherry barbs, and otos just make sure you don't over stock. All of those are sensitive to water conditions.
