I always enjoy a variety of algae eaters in my tanks. I like using shrimp (Tiger, Amano, Cherrys), Otto's, Sae's & small Plecos.
I know a lot of people don't like Sae's, but I've found them to be very good at what they do. I difinitely can tell the difference in tanks without them as opposed to the ones with them. They do have a tendency to eat fish food when they get older, but I still see them hard at work. Keeping at least two together will help keep their aggression levels down & turned toward each other. Only when I have kept a lone Sae have they chased other fish or shrimp.
