You should get some sucker fish and they will eat it instead of the fantails (but beware they are really hard to catch if you have a new tank that what you first put them in)
An algae eating species of any type isn't capable of eating all the algae in the tank. Your going to have to clean the tank yourself. The algae eater will from then on keep the algae levels in your tank down, but not totally.
Algae Definitely algae. Use barley products to keep algae at bay, or other fish/environment safe means.
If the substance you are refering to is algae and the scenery is moveable you can simply remove the algae covered items and scrub them in clean water. If you are refering to an algae slime on the substrate then you can remove it simply by syphoning it into a container for disposal. If the algae is on plants then having a few algae eating fish species like plecostomus or mollys in there will help keep it under control. Excess algae is usually caused by too much light for too long.
They are harmless and never chase other fish. They help keep the tank clean by eating the algae. It's good to have one in any aquarium.
algae. you need a sanitizer to keep it from growing!
Generally it is a good idea to leave some algae. However, if you want to clean the tank very thoroughly and you are worried about the amount of algae left for your bottom-feeders, the best option is to buy algae discs. They are fairly inexpensive and you can find them almost anywhere that sells fish. They're located next to the fish food and usually a few discs will keep your bottom-feeders from going hungry until algae naturally grows back.
A leafy algae is a type of algae that grows in ponds or aquariums. It appears tree like. It takes a lot of diligence to keep it from overgrowing and recurring.

They can and often do in great amounts. I keep some in most tanks just because they keep alot of algae in check.
