Good companion and tank cleaners

Any recommendation on fishes that meet the requirement?

I have a 2 ft tank with 3 orandas (each around 4" size).
The tank wall look dirty and need constant cleaning because of algae?? and also eggs laid by one of the orandas. The tiny transparent eggs stick all over the tank base and side wall. The orandas ate some but still plenty left over and stain after the .


Thanks.

The best solution? do water change and scrub the tank yourself.

Algae is free 24/7 food for the goldfishes, so why not leave the algae for them? But just scrub the front side of the tank for the purpose of viewing fish.

The only plecos that are "safe" for goldies are bristlenose or rubbernose plecos. Other types may suck the slime coat of the goldies.

Agree that wall algae (the dark green type) is healthy for goldies, although a little unsightly
