gold nuggets are decent algae destroyers to boot. Not as lazy as some of the other ornamental plecos. Treat him/her to some zucchini once a week or so and it'll stay healthier for you. Some folks use green beans or peas but I like to quarter the zucchini length wise and stick a fork in one end. the cichlids will chop it too after a day or so
