Any suggestions for a hardy algae eater? This is my first tank in a good 20 years and back then I just winged it (Did good though). My new tank is cycling but almost ready. For starter fish I'm sticking with Zebra's, Swordtails and Mollies until I get the hang of it all. What would be a good algae eater to go with these fish? Thanks!

Hi what about a Bristlenose catfish (Ancistrus temminckii ) they are good at eating algae .They like a well planted tank and green vegetables to eat .
