Algal problems are most acute in new tanks, where the balance between fish, plants, filtration and fishkeeper has yet to be established. Yet algae can also strike older tanks, particularly if maintenance has been neglected or the tank has been overfed or over-stocked.

plants will usually control algae growth once established. You don’t need to be an expert .floating plants of various kinds are the best defense against algae, and they’re very easy to grow unless you’ve got overly turbulent water. Floating plants take up a lot of nutrients, too, helping keep the water pure.

Wao that is great, all this while I am thinking of to have or not to have floating plants for my tank. Now I know that its can help to prevent algae I am sure to have some floating plants!

Here is the picture of Amano shrimps:

Amano shrimps are very good algae eater. Cherry shrimps are the next slightly hardy shrimps you can try. One important thing is shrimps are very sensitive to metal contents in liquid fertilizer, especially copper. One safe fert is seachem comprehensive. If you see your shrimps dropping dead one by one, look at the fert first.

those want to play planted tank should try diy co2 (yeast and sugar solution) and then switch to co2 tank. co2 while good for the plants might be bad for other fishes/shrimps etc. main thing is balance. if can afford chiller will be even better.
