What's a good algae eater for a small tank with guppies?

[zxcvbob <bob at area51online_net>]

10 gallon tank, recently overhauled and being overrun with algae.  The
real plants are starting to grow rapidly, so hopefully they will soon
starve out the algae.  I really should have some kind of scavanger
and/or algae eater, but I want to make sure it won't outgrow this
small tank, won't eat baby guppies, and won't damage the plants too
much. I had a common pleco once that would scrape holes in the leaves
of my sword plants.  (Yes, he had a piece of wood to chew on.)  

The LFS's around here don't have a very good variety of fish, and
really no invertebrates.  What do you suggest?  Thanks.

Best regards,
Bob
