Trouble finding SAE!!!

I'm struggling with my newsreader at the moment so I'm not getting all the
new posts. Ug..

I've got 3 oto's in the tank, I can't see anything but hair algae so I guess
they're doing their job. I've also got a black molly and 3 rosy barbs which
seem to be picking at the algae all day. I'm not sure they're eating it
fast enough to control it at the moment. I've been all over the city where
I live and haven't managed to find and SAE, the best suggestion I got was
the rosy barbs...

Help...

Phil..

SAE's can become aggressive toward tankmates once they grow. You may

look at Ottos to do the algae eating job. Great fish and very peaceful.

I've never had an oto eat BBA. Only SAE will touch that stuff. I've
also never had an SAE turn on tankmates although I've heard reports of
it. I wonder whether some of the fish in the C. siamensis species
complex are more aggressive than others.
