get some otos and shrimp. but be warned, youre asking for a miracle fish that most likely doesnt exist. the most effective way to keep algae in check is proper lighting/co2/dosing levels.

There is a cheap fish called an Algae eater that would do the trick,or just keep your lights off.

yeah. i didnt catch the part about him having monster fish. there really is nothing that he can get the wont become a snack. otos and shrimp are tiny and will be a snack as soon as they are dropped in the tank. they dont stand a chance
