Convicts are very aggressive fish. You should just consider using something else to get rid of the algae. I'd suggest something like Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Algaefix which works wonders and has a good price.

What if I had a six gallon tank with two small fish and about a two inch algae eater we have had the algae eater for about six weeks and there is algae everywhere you look how can i take care of this?
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.

No. Your tank is ridiculously overstocked. Your algae eater will eventually grow to the size of 12 inches long. Your mollies need more space. And your shrimp will soon die because of the polluted water from the overcrowded conditions.
