my bristlenose clean nothing, but my apple snails omg they clean everything!! my tanks are clean and clear. I have to supliment them every day
Well I agree Plecos and Chinese algae eaters along with snails do the work fairly well. However none are needed unless you are raising them. Most people I know always say buy a pleco and or algae eaters to keep the algae away. Algae can be kept in check and is usually a sign of problems in your bio system and should raise alarms unless your intentionally allowing it for certain fish species. But hands down Plecos seem to the best job but they tend to get too big especially if they have alot to eat, but in 30+ aquaria that is usually no prob.
Floatus magnicus all the way. I've had otos, several different plecos, and a bunch of different snails, none of them has completely alleviated the need to still scrape the glass.
Um, pardon my ignorance, but what's that? I Googled it and came up with no info at all.

there is no replacement for elbow grease.
i buy my fish for aesthetic pleasure and to compliment my tanks.. not to take the place of manual labor.
