If you have overstocked the tank by adding the extra fish the answer is yes. The basic rules for successfull fishkeeping are as follows. :- 1 inch (2.25cm) of fish needs at least 1 gallon (3.78ltrs) of water. Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. If you follow the above rules, feed the fish the correct diet and keep the container covered and at 75F most tropicals will do OK. I can guarantee that if you don't keep the preceeding rules that your fish will have constant health problems and will live a considerably shorter life.

Generally it is a good idea to leave some algae.

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.
