I am looking for a pleco that might eat the black type hair algae that is growing on my Manzinita branches. Doing some research I found the Flying Fox or Siamese Algae eaters would work, but these would be the perfect snack sized fish for my Midas, so back to looking for a pleco as an answer. I have some bristle nose growing out in another tank but I have heard that this type of algae is not the kind they typically eat. So any suggestions on a pleco?
