For the red algea, try Botryocladia skottsbergii or Gibsmithia hawaiiensis.

the 2nd pic is red slime algae if it starts growing some sort of blanket over it. but..when i had that i never had bubbles. so im thinkng bubble algae. get a minthrax crab, he'll eat them right up.

by the way...i overfed my fish, so thats what made my red slime algae out of control. but i dont think u have that, doesnt look like any type of blanket is growing over the bubbles.

I highly doubt that is bubble algea (but I could be wrong) so a crab might not eat it. I have found the best defense against algae is to keep great water condition as opposed to using a band aid solution to solve the problem. If you don't stop it at the source, you will continually fight the same fight.
