cleaning

[zanybees]

Can anyone tell me what would be a good type of fish or whatever to keep my tank clean. I have live sand in the bottom of it and it continues to turn goldish/orange. I have 4 fish in my 26 gallon, a long nose butterfly, an orange skunk clown, a tomato clown and I cant remember what the 4th one is called but I need help with a name of something that I can use to put in my tank to keep it cleaner.
Thanks in advance.

Sand sifting star will keep it clean, but your tank may be too small for one, not so sure. Also, nass. snails (I think those are the ones) burrow under the sand and come out during the night, that can turn over your sand a bit. And fighting conches will clean the top layer.

Four fish is to many for a 26 gallon IMO. You should get a clean up crew (snails, hermits etc.) I don't know how long your tanks been up but the algae sounds like Diatoms, which is normal for a young tank. However, you may have exceeded your tank's Bioload with that amount of fish.
