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)

How do you remove the brownish green sludge from the scenery in a fish tank?
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.

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.
