Not sure what you mean by an algae eating fish. Are you just wanting pictures of different kinds of plecos? If that's the case go to plecofanatics.com there is a ton of info on plecos and lots of pictures. Make sure to read about their size, in a 15 gal. you need something that will stay about 4 inches.

common plecos will out grow your tank, I think he may have bought a chinese algea eater, as I have heard them called. They are very active but can be a bit aggresive.
I am not sure what you mean by white algea, its most likely a fungus or mold, you may want to increase the flow in your tank and see if that makes a difference.

thanks
