Hello, so i've been pondering what could be a better algae eater for my tank? I have a 30 gallon tank and i currently have a common pleco that i recieved when i first purchased the tank. I currently also have 2 tiger, albino, glassy, cherry, and one green tiger barb,RTBS, south american bumblebee catfish, and a peacock eel. and i was wondering if there is a smaller species of pleco that would be better for my tank? or possibly if a few snails cold do the trick? any help would be awesome!

2 tanks (for now)
1 30 gallon
1 22 gallon

Bristlenose plecos are more appropriately-sized for a 30-gallon tank. Otocinclus are good too. They may or may not be predated upon by your eel though.
