alge eater help.

What's a decent size alge eater (5in max) beside pleco that are less dirty and is actually doing it job. And won't get snack on my tank full of monster wolf's/ Dorado? Thanks

idk if these will get eaten, but some of the synodontis/microsynodontis don't get bigger than 5 inches and eat algae.

Another choice would be bristle nose plecos. They eat algae and aren't too messy. Not sure if they'll not be eaten though.

I have a random rainbow shark with my tex and 8" syn. All the other fish in the tank completely ignore him and he takes care of any brown algae that may appear.
