I have a 10 gallon tank with 3 guppies and 3 cherry barbs. I'm looking for a bottom feeder or algae eater that would be good for a tank this size. Any good suggestions?

Hi, and Welcome to Fish Profiles...

For the algae eaters, three "Otto's" would be a good idea.
For bottom feeders, they do have pigmy catfish and while "they" ususally recommend schools of five or more, three's might be good.

It is a "small" tank, watch that you do not over tax it with the number of fish.
There are several articles written on this subject. Here is one example:

Thanks. The only thing about ottos is they are hard to find around my area and I've heard they can be hard to keep.
