How big will this aquarium be? IME Scats make far better algae removers than any catfish. There are some catfish that could be included, but none of the ones that come to mind are suitable for anything other than large aquaria.

IME= In my experience

Scats (Scatophagus argus) are brackish water fishes found in Australasia. Do a google search and you'll find a lot written about them.
