Default Algae eating fish

I have 1 Whiptail, 2 Farowellas, and 6 Otto's for algea control in my
planted 75.

Hi!

I run my lights from noon to 1 am (13 hours)
I have always had good luck with this setup.

It mimics the low light of dawn by having room lights gently light my

tanks
until noon.

I have been fighting Black Hair Algae and bought Siamese Algae Eaters,
SAEs. I also notice Mollies and swordtails peck at the stuff. I
reloaded my 75 gallon tank with low light plants 1.5 to 1 wpg, and
then wondered if I was providing light too long. I have been turning
my lights off for a few hours and do believe the combination of things
is getting rid of the BHA. I read this week that even though my
average lights power is about 1.5 wpg that running lights from 5 am to
8 pm, my personal hours, is not healthy for plants or fish.

I have 100 planted gallon tank.
I have two flying foxes, am thinking about introducing some other

algae
eating fish that is considered 'peaceful and will not harm plants.
Any suggestions ?
