Clearing out algae?

[Pisidan]

I was wondering what would be good to put in a 10 gallon tank to get ird of algae. I know most plecos are too large to consider..I was thinking along the lines of snails but a snail that wont eat my plants if any exsist..any ideas out there would be appriecated! Oh and the creatures in the tank now are 3 kribs and 4 white cloud minnows!

try one bushynose, or a few otocats

FYI - snails will not eat healthy plants.

That being said, I'd say you could put a small school of ottos in there.

Thanxs Im gonna look into some Ottos how many are good ina 10 gallon tank?

1 have 3 ottos in my 10 gallon tank,  I bought a total of 9 but several of them died, they are very fragile fish in the first week or so when bringing them home,  but even with 3 I have never had a problem with algae, they are busy suckers

Ok cool So I will get 3 or so If anybody has any for sale I would rather buy them from someone on here than at a petstore so let me know guys!! Asking price and all!!

your looking at about 2$ in a petstore, although I would start with a few more then 3, just because otto's are notorios for dying for no reason at all. ( well,  stress from handling, undereating ect, but very hard reasons to detect a healthy otto from an unhealthy one )
