RE:Best algae eaters

[ouch]

I have some algea growing on the glass on the back of my tank and also some hair algea on my plants....
Im looking for the ones that do the best job for this type of algea that dont grow to fast or stay small and wont attack my tetras in a community tank.
Any suggestions?

what size is your tank and what are the fish?

This is only my preference, but I love snails. They do a great job.

Those little otos are just wonderful! I know better with the bio-load I already have but brown algea was over running my tank. I picked up 3 half inch otos Monday night and my tank looks great. As soon as my fishless cycle is over they have work to do in my 55g. That will be their permanent home but what little workers they are!
