Would someone advise on the pH requirements of the various algae eaters
I've read about on this list?

I am soon opening up a 40-gallon plant tank which will probably have a pH
of 7 to 7.2. I cannot get my water into the acid range without lots of
continual work. So I am looking for algae eaters that can take neutral to
base water. My three Siamese algae eaters seem to be doing fine in similar
water.

Otocinclus
Farlowella
Various corydoras (suggestions?)
Others?

Thanks.
