Came across this suggestion on another website. Very doubtful, but can it be true?

Don't hope to find a fish that will eat a Cyanobacteria problem out of existence. Instead, change the conditions in your tank that are favorable to the growth of Cyanobacteria to those conditions that aren't.

Common swordtails (X. helleri) eats cyanobacteria. Anyways... There is no need to aquire a specie of fish for the purpose. Cyanobacteria is easy to get rid of by just pulling the plug from the lights a couple of days or more if needed.
