Please Suggest Algae Eater in African Tank

Chinese algie eater is what I have in my cichlid tank, all the cichlids leave him alone and he is alot more active than the plec I replaced him with. The only fish I have that hassels him is the red tail shark.

How big is it? Still not a suitable algae eater IMO. Their taste for algae fades as they mature and eventually will turn to sucking the slime coat of your fish.

Well, he is full grown, he dosent get all the algie, it is a big tank, but he really works all the time, everytime I look at the tank he is working away. That said, he does get a little help, I wipe down the walls of the tank and vaccuum once a week, so whatever he dosent get I get:)
