Levi_Aquatics Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Well really you should be the one cleaning the aquarium. You shouldn’t keep fish as cleaner fish but as pets. This said, I would suggest trying a pleco, but make sure that you have a backup plan if there is any aggression. If that doesn’t work you will probably have to stick to cleaning the aquarium yourself. I hope this helped! Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What @Levi_Aquatics said, I don't think any fish should be kept specifically for cleaning, they should be kept as pets. But it is certainly fine to keep pets that also help a bit with getting rid of algae. A common pleco (Hypostomus plecostomus) or a sailfin pleco (Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps) would work fine for eating a bit of algae depending on your tank size. Probably at least a 100 gallons for these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
