Hello dude, Didnt i give you some snails once??

To awnser your Q, My personal favs are siamese algae eaters, and ottocinculus.
Both remain pretty small and are efficient fish. Also pitbull plecs are good for glass cleaning.

Always thought the Bristlenoses did the best job depending upon where you have the algae and size of tank

Cool fish!, i have 2 Figures of 8 and 4 Green Spotted Puffers on the go in a brackish tank at 0.008 salinity.

I have loads of live rock in there from a buddy but i am planning on a mangrove tank.
