Looking for a fry friendly algae-eating catfish... if it exists

So, I have 2 10g fry tanks for some of my various non-catfish fry. And, I'd like to add a catfish to each (preferably something that can help with any algae I miss when I'm scrubbing out the tanks). I know Bristlenose Plecos stay relatively small and are algae-eaters... But, I'm not so sure they wouldn't eat the fry as well. If anyone has a viable suggestion for me, I would appreciate it.

Unless the fry are totally immobile the bristlenose will not harm them.

I keep Sturisoma in every tank to help me with keeping it clean ;)

Awesome, thank you guys so much for the help. I'll pick up some Bristlenoses for them. I suppose if any of the fry do get eaten, they probably wouldn't have made it anyway.
