Best cleaner fish for plants

Don't get the Chinese algae eater if that's what petsmart is selling. This fish is not worth a penny. It grows very big and does not eat algae plus it will eventually become the boss of the tank. Amano and red cherry shrimp takes care of algae too. Nerite snails are in high demand of freshwater planted aquariums because they can reproduce but their eggs will never hatch in fresh water. I will add another plus to the nerite. Otos are just about the best. Very cheap and will take care of many things. 4 otos may not show much improvement but 8 or more will definitely keep your plants a little more clean. Keep in mind that some algae are ignored by otos and shrimps. Black bear algae and stringy hair algae. Snails will eat all kind of algae but not at a fast paste. Siamese algae eater will take care of hair algae but that's only if you starve them enough. Judging from your live stock, you probably can't go on 3 or more days without feeding your fish. Maybe it's time to think outside the box and reconsider reaching balance in your aquarium roud: Light limit, fertilize limit and water changes etc.
