I'd like to get an algae eater/sucker mouth cat and have been looking at two species to choose from: Chinese Algae Eaters and Butterfly Loaches. I'd like to put it in my 20 gal tank and would like recommendations, pros and cons of each species. The tank currently holds a male betta, 2 elegans corys and 1 small (slightly larged than fry) guppy, oh and apparently at least 1 snail.
My ideal would be to get 2 of whichever species, but that's only because I like to have 2 or more of a kind. Not a priority though. And it all depends on how large they grow, if they get along etc. If these two species, mentioned above, would grow to big for a 20 gal tank, what algae eaters would you recommend?
