algea trouble. need help

[Casual]

i recently got a wolf fish and stingray so i had to get rid of my two pleco's and now since i have a heavily planted tank that needs HO plant lights it's starting to really build up and all the glass is covered in green algea . Im wondering if theres a fish that get's big 10"-15" and it eats algea and wont bother my stingray or wolffish. Thanks Guys!

I'm not sure if a flagtail will be okay. They are a natural algae scrubber but if not fed well will munch on your plants. You cannot keep more than one, though.

ah they only get 9" i need them to be max size 20"

I thought Flagtails got to 15". Not sure of that's the best choice for your tank though.

If you have a planted aquarium, add more plants...if your plants are doing well, they will out compete algae for the necessary nutrients.
