I have a 75 gallon tank, and I just wanted to know what invertebrates would make a good cleanup crew for it? I've noticed the logs I have in the tank gaining a lot more algae as of recently, does anybody have any suggestions? I should clarify that it is a predator tank.

Most I can think of will eat inverts, though you may be able to grow a snail population.
Really the best combat for algae is increased water changes and manual removal. Plants also helps to combat it.

Alright, thanks, they would definitely eat inverts like you said, I'll just do frequent water changes.

I would think that a python would be your best option.

What are the current tank occupants? Depending on what species you have you could get different answers, for my 75-gallon firemouth tank I went with trumpet snails.
