I recently relocated my pair of convicts to my 75 G tank with a large Jack Dempsey. I really need some tank cleaners to help control algae growth. I am afraid anything I put in there will get torn apart and I hate investing in large Plecos, they can be expensive and I dont have much luck with them.

I know this may sound weird but as plecos grow they
Actually clean less and poop more. I would not reccomend a large one maybe you could try a bristlenose pleco

.......what do you think of introducing snails (Melanoides tuberculata, Physa, etc.) to control algae and clean up leftover food, etc..?

Everything liveing that will clean also creates waste... Sometimes it's just not worth it!
