I do tanks for mainly ascetic reasons, so which algae eater will coexist with cories, glowlites tetras, and cacatoides.

usual set; nerite snails, mystery snails, various pleco, otto, sae (but along with the snails they are not a sa fish if that matters); also most live bearers (guppies, mollies, ...) are actually proficient algae eaters if you don't over feed them.

I recommend not putting potential breeding pairs of apistos in community tank. When/if they breed you will have aggression problems, particularly against other bottom-dwellers.
