Wanna squeeze in an oto

[Bender81]

5.5g tank with 2 male guppies, 4 pygmy cories and an amano shrimp. I'm planning on upgrading my lighting and having my tank heavily planted (there's already quite a few, but more is better ). Think I'd be ok squeezing in an oto and possibly another amano shrimp? =O I just want a little more algae control if I'm getting more plants, 'cause I already got a bunch of the brown stuff on the glass and anubias.

you shouldnt have algae in a planted tank. you need to balance out your ferts, and light.

I think that you could squeeze an Oto in if you keep your maintance up.

Hrm, well right now I only have the brown type of algae on my anubias and I've been occasionally scraping it off the glass sides. It's not that much, but I know otos like this type of algae which is why I wanted to pick one up. What can I do to prevent it?
