Actually fish should never need to be removed from the tank when you're doing routine maintenance. If they have to be then you're over cleaning and/or your tank is too small!

In a healthy established filtered tank you only need to do 20% water changes once a week, the fish stay put. Constantly netting them and moving them about causes extreme stress and can kill them.

If your tank is unfiltered then it's not suitable for fish.

How do you clean algae over a large area?

If it is all over the rocks and walls it is time to put the fish in the small tank they came in while you do a full cleaning then put them back in. if it isn't to the full cleaning point (I full clean mine every 1-2 months) then you can buy algae scrubbers that you can use while the fish are in the tank, or if isn't that thick algae you can buy an algae eating fish.
