Fish/Shimp cleaners for algae and cleaning?

Hey ya my fellow members. I recently Had to re-scape and cut back to 1/10th of the plants in one of my tanks. Due to various complications with moving and the month before I moved I was out of the country and the person didn't take care of it at all, prompted this big change.

Anyway, I was curious what people thought are the best cleaners in a full (heavy planted in about a two months with the way my tanks grow), both for algae and for general cleaning?

I've heard loches, shrimp, octo's, ect.

The problem is that I have not read anything that is 'for sure' that point out this Y fish will do X and these will do X, and just a general information part. I plan on writing up a thread about this for the algae section (for my own use but also for others), but I need just a little bit of help with my own tank(s) before I start doing a write up.

I currently have a 55bow, 25 tall, and cube 7.5. I have tried octo's before but they didn't seem to help much with the cleaning/algae.

Thank you in advanced.
