solo diatom destroyer?

[genocidex]

well i know i should change my water instead of getting something for algae but its going to be a loosing battle since i have a high silica gravel/sand. so i wanted to know if there was something that would eat them and live in soft water (nearly 0 can never get a reading) and 6.6ph

i would like a solo fish since its not a huge tank and my tiger barbs are the rulers there. its a 29g, but i have a 40g breeder that im thinking of moving all these fish into come end of tax season XD. also im aware that when theres no more algae i need to feed them, but i have algae waffers and i can always look into more feeding methods lol

was thinking otos but they are schooling fish.... and not enough room in my tank for a full school.

bristlenose cats make short work of diatoms

are those any different than bn pleccys? and would they fight with a striped raph?

A bristlenose catfish is also known as a bristlenose pleco. They are peaceful fish, only prone to aggression among their own species
