If you're thinking of getting them for that temp, I'd suggest against it. If you already have some I'd suggest increasing surface agitation and water movement as much as possible. ^_^

If you don't already have any ottos, and still want an algae eater, may I suggest a bristlenose? And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
