What is a good fish to have in a 5 gal tank, that will not get big and will eat algae and excess food in the rocks? Also they have to be compatible with fancy guppies. I currently have a plecostomus fish but heard they get big so i need one that stays small. No shrimps only fin fish.

Thanks

To be honest, I wouldn't recommend adding more fish to your tank. The tank is already heavily stocked, which can lead to the algae. Adding another fish will just make more mess. Your snail should eat excess food and clean to some extent. If there is still a lot of uneaten food, then you're feeding way too much. :)

I read on the other thread that you're taking the plecostomus back, which is a good decision.
