I am looking for a shrimp that has the personality of a ghost shrimp but eats algae, any feedback is appreciated, sorry if this is a stupid question.
 
Never really noticed a difference in personalities of ghost shrimp compared to other shrimp I kept to be honest. Unless you mean temperament and tolerance of fish, then Amano shrimp is possible candidate.
Only issue is, if you feed Amano shrimp other types of food (flakes or pellets), thy might stop scraping for algae.
Oto catfish as really good for algae control, and you can mix them with the Amanos.

What type of algae are you looking to get rid of? Ghost shrimp are some of the best candidates to get rid of hair algae my lfs put them in their salt and fresh water tanks to take care of an outbreak. In my opinion all shrimp are the same in the way they act except if some inhibit cleaner responsibilities while others don't
 
Okay thank you I have only kept ghost shrimp and didn't know they ate algae, I asked because I enjoy their antics.
