Episode one: https://youtu.be/z72qOI4CoAw
In this video we look at 6 aquarium algae eaters which can be put into an aquarium rather than a pleco fish.

Siamese algae eaters are a favorite of many aquarium keepers as they eat many different types of aquarium algae. The do get quite large however so are not suitable for every aquarium.
Sucking loaches are another fish which are sold as excellent aquarium algae eating fish, which is true when they are young, but as the grow larger they actually reduce or stop eating algae and can actually start becoming aggressive and attack other fish.
Whiptail catfish are an amazing addition to any aquarium regardless of whether they eat algae or not. Some species are not that great at algae eating but others are, so research is required.
Hillstream loach come from fast flowing well oxygenated water and require this in the aquarium. They are great little algae eaters and are a quirky addition to any fish tank.
Often mistaken for a common pleco, ancistrus bristle nose catfish are actually quite different in that they do not get as big and they carry on being good algae eaters throughout their entire life.
Live bearers like mollies, guppies, platies and swordtails are the unsung heroes of aquarium algae eaters and you often don't realize how much they contribute to a clean aquarium until they have died.
