Amano Shrimp

So I attempted to set up a dwarf hairgrass tank but failed. I was too lazy to clean up the tank and now it's full of algae.

Some brown algae, a lot of green hair algae and some others.

Would a crew of Amano shrimp clean this tank into sparkly clean again or do they not eat most of the algae in my tank or should I just throw a crew of ramshorns in there?

 

Will have pics of tank real soon.

 

Just removed the plants.

 

 

For all those setting up dwarf hairgrass tanks, if you don't have real co2, don't bother!!

I was dosing 5x amount of excel and algae still won.

What else is still in the tank?

 

If there is nothing in there, I'd scrape and do a full water change.

Just eco complete substrate and algae.

I'd just give it a good scrape and start over, quickest and most effective fix I can think of.

One side of the tank is almost all cleaned up. 40 ramshorn sure do the trick
