Question
What is the best type of algea eater to get for an indoor 10-gallon fishtank.

Answer
Sean,

 A ten gallon is a little small for any pleco but you can start off with a Bristlenose Pleco. They generally stay pretty small (usually no bigger than 5 inches). You will want to eventually get him into a longer home of about 30 gallons when he gets bigger.
