There's gotta be one, it would be an unfilled ecological niche. I can't think of one though! slamhead

I'm sure there is one, but whether it is available to the aquarium hobby or not is a different story.

Garra! There are African garra species. And they are supposed to be superb algae munchers. Frank's Aquarium stocks several varieties of them. Frank could tell you which were African.
This post is proof that I never forget anything, it just sometimes takes a while for it to bubble up out of the swamp that is my brain.
