I have a 29 gallon aquarium and there is currently a build up of a rust color substance on my plants and rocks. I assume this is some sort of algae. I would appreciate it if somebody could recommend a good algae eater for this, taking into consideration the relatively small size of my aquarium.

Thanks.

Probably a bristlenose pleco, full grown I belive they are about 5". I know alot of people use them by looking at there tank specs. Once my cycle is done I will be getting one

Rust-colored? You want a few Ottos...they take care of diatomic algae really well.
