What algae eaters can I put in a 75 gallon predator tank? The only catch is that it NEEDS to be compatable with a bichir, ie, not eating its slime coat. This is very important as the bichir is basically the only reason im getting the tank, (I am upgrading when the bichir gets too big, however.) What algae eaters would you recommend, if any?

In all seriousness, a bn pleco would probably be fine. They are the best algae eating pleco and not usually interested in slime coats. This is all dependent on bichir type and tank stocking.
Nothing has done a better job on algae for me than a good algae scraper, lots of water changes, and high plant density though.

Hey, thanks a lot, I can't get plants because i plan on putting a few cichlids in the tank aswell, but I will certainly look into an algae scraper and bn pleco. Once again, thanks a lot.
Cichlids doesn't mean you can't do plants. I have plants with some of my cichlids. Pond snails, mystery snails or nerite snails work well. I prefer nerites as they do not reproduce in freshwater.
Green Terror, Starry NIght, Red Tiger Motaguense, truthfully I had forgotten about floating plants.
That is also true, snails would certainly do well, only thing I worry about is that they might get eaten, but im being irrational.
