try scrubbing it. tanks get dirty you have to clean it.

theres lots of reasons to get algae, i just assume at some point any tank will get it. just get a scrubber and scrub scrub scrub (or an easy wipe off)

Fish probably aren't going to make your glass spotless. I have 2 clown plecos and they almost never eat algae. They're more into the driftwood. Magfloats are great. Takes about a minute a day and your glass will be spotless.

What are your tank parameters and light schedule?

many plecos dont eat algae. other algae eating fish will only eat one or two kinds of algae. its better to figure out whats causing it and deal with it then try to cram a bunch of fish in there trying to fix it.
