I have recently lost alot of fish due to old age in my Community tank. It is roughly 25 g and the stocking is:
1 African Dwarf Frog
3 Rasboras
3TBs
3 Zebra Danios
1 Comet(Bubba)
I would like to get some more fish but wondering if this would work.
3 more danios
3 more TBs
and a gourami(once buuba gets moved to the pond)

Depends on the kind of algae - but you could add 6 Otocinclus

Another suggestiom for the algae would be a bristlenose pleco. They only get about 4-5."

Very nice choice of a pleco!!! I am sure he will be an attractive addition to your tank.

Just to warn ya that pleco is not a real good alage eater and is more a omnivore... Same vain as the zebras.
More info for ya here...

Here is the basic info:
Feeding Omnivorous with a tendency towards meaty foods. Not an effective algae eater. Well fed individuals will not damage most plants.
Furniture Rock piles and wood tangles. Plants are not vital.
Compatibility Peaceful if a little territorial. As a rough guide give each fish a 12 inch square area well broken up with decorations.
Maybe add this guy with a few otos and you will cover all your bases.
Breeding Cave spawner.

Mollies will make excellent eaters of green algae. I aded a bunch to my tank and the algae disappeared.
