Does it have to be a fish? How about nerite snails?

Looked a bit into snails, but arent they difficult to keep? And can they go with guppies?

I feel like snails are one of the easiest to keep and I don't see why guppies would be a problem

Amano shrimp perhaps? They're pretty cool and do a decent amount of tank clean up for the small bio load they create

I would love amano shrimp, but substrate comes in shrimp substrate and normal substrate, i have the normal one in my tank already. Is that a problem when having shrimp?

So the "shrimp stratum/substrate" is just a ripoff? Nice to know 1f606 Might reconsider amanos again.

Snails work, some shrimp as noted too would be good. Tank seems too small though for any decently sized algae eater fish

I have been making use of snails for as long as I can remember and they have worked perfectly well as my algae eaters and they are not difficult to manage as well. It's going to be my first recommendation.
