Algae eaters compatible w/brichardi cichlids

[Reg]

I have a 10g tank with a pair of neolamprologus brichardi. It's being overrun with algae due to lots of indirect sunlight. Getting tired of scrubbing the glass. I've tried otocinclus and panaque maccus (aka clown pleco). The brichardi harass these two fish. Any suggestions? Snails? Shrimp? Any other type of pleco?

Hey Reg

Keeping Brichardi's in a ten Gallon is a tad small d00d! I think that
directs sunlight on your tank will also raise temperatures which they also
dont like. Cover the sunny side with a towel or blanket or something. Sorry,
no suggestions for algae eaters...maybe a bristlenose, they stay small, dont
know how it would fair with the Brichardis though! HTH

Brichardis and bristlenose get along fine.
