If you want to take the risk, you could probably put a clown plec in there. However, they do not eat algae. Other than that, I wouldn't try any other species. They just get a little too big for a 10g. If you're looking for alagae eating fish, try otos. They're not the hardyest fish, but they are effective. 3 or 4 in a 10g should be plenty. But again, you'd be taking a risk with those nippy puffs. HTH ><>Dani<><

They're also one of the few fish dwarf puffers won't bother. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
