[Killietalk] egg-safe algae eaters

[Brown_D at kids_wustl.edu]

I'd like to get some new algae eaters to help keep a few new small planted
tanks algae-free, but these are tanks that I'd like killies to breed in.  I
have tried to keep the suspected MTS from my other tanks out of the new
ones and would like to avoid introducing any other plant-friendly but
egg-eating helpers into these tanks.

I'm looking at:
amano shrimp (c. japonica)
"red cherry shrimp"
j. floridae
otocinclus

Are any of these problematic egg-eaters?

Thanks in advance for your input.
