Gr0uChYKiD  Enthusiast Posts: 164 Kudos: 23 Votes: 0 Registered: 07-Dec-2000   | Ok here's the situation...I had a 7 inch common pleco in my 90 gallon that just died. I'm now having a major algae problem...any suggestions on a new addition to tackle the algae growth? I'm not to keen on another common because I don't like the look of them all that much. |

| labrakitty Fish Addict Posts: 740 Kudos: 435 Votes: 9 Registered: 12-Nov-2004 | I would get about 12 for a 90 gallon. Otos are probobly not the best for such a big tank but wiht a lot of them it would probobly be opk. Just check that the other fish won't eat them. |

| stallion81 Big Fish Posts: 327 Kudos: 255 Votes: 143 Registered: 17-Jan-2004 | I'd be bettin those tinfoil's would make lunch of the otto's. Better go with the BN's. |
