first, we need more info
what size tank
water source
water parameters(ammonia,Ph,nitrAtes and nitrItes)
filtration
lighting
heating

I think guppies might be up your alley, however what is the "algae eater"? Zebras are a little nippy of fins but if you have enough or can trade them off they will do fine as far as nipping goes.

I think he means a Placostamus(don't think I spelled that right) or similiar cleaner fish. For whatever reason my lfs used to call them algae eaters aswell.

Maybe, but my LFS calls Chinese Algae Eaters just plain algae eaters.
