Algae Eaters

Got some Borneo suckers in my son's tank and they are doing a great job, also starting to get quite big. I read they get to 6cm (which they are about now), is that correct worried they might out grow the tank.

Now my tank is tropical (26-28 C), 100 litres. Keep putting Bristlenose in and they die after a few days to a few weeks. Every one else in the tank are fine. What else could I try to keep the algae down ? Plenty of algae to eat and have some drift wood in there.

Depends on the type of algae that's in there. They won't eat black hair algae or blue green algae. They will eat your standard green and brown though. Try feeding them spinach, maybe they're not getting enough to eat. Algae usually isn't enough for them.
