    Hi Everyone,

    I had to remove the pleco from my tank as he was sucking the slime off the side of my cichlids - caught him in the act a few times.

    Now the algae is loving the glass of my 300lt cichild tank and I would like to know what fish can I introduce to the tank that will clean as beautifully as the pleco did, without his bad habits...

    My cichilds are aggresive so an ancistrus won't suffice.

    Thanks

    If you give a bn hiding space he/she would be fine

    I had a BN with my Malawis and it was fine.
    There were plenty of hiding spaces among the rocks. And BN like a bit of wood, so I had a small piece in the tank for it.
