Need help with picking a fish

[Drumm22]

I mighta asked a similar quesuton here before. But I have a predator tank or more than aggressive I guess. 7bichirs up to 13in endli, a EBJD and various others. Curious as to what fish I could get that may helonw the algae on the glass? It's not much you can only really see it when you do a water change . I don't want a common pleco.

This is gonna be much more helpful than any fish, as it does it’s job without producing waste.

That said, bristlenose plecos are hard workers as opposed to many other plecos. They still crap a lot but at least they also do their job. Not sure how an endli would get along with it though.
Alternatively you may get lucky with snails - small ones like pond or mts would stay off the radar of your fish.

Works for me, definitely one of the worst on the market though.

I don't have the exact one but the algae isn't that bad but I need an excuse for another fish. But my fish have killed a green phantom, albino brietlenose , a Medusa, and another pleco all 3-5inches. This was when i had 3 bichirs around 4-6inches. Now I have 7 7-13inches.

Sounds like a pleco probably isn’t the best option then.
Not sure what other fish might work with them tbh, I’d wait and see what others have to say.

Flagtail? Never had them but they are apparently a good algae eater which can stand up for themselves.

This is true. They are good clean up crew.

a caution I would throw out there in this situation is that you would need a fairly decent sized one. Polys tend to gravitate toward silvery bodies fish as prey. I have seen too many pics of polys eating tinfoil barbs that are way too big to fit, but very hopeful ?

This is what my friends said I might have to

What size is your tank? Flagtails are great for algae but they’re messy and get big and can be aggressive. Great fish if you can accommodate them
