Hello Forum!
I need help with plant algae in my new 30g tank. So far i have 4 Amazon sword plants, and 3 Anubias and planning on adding more plants in the following week in my tank. I am concerned with algae growth on the leaves, and a buddy of mine suggested i add either a Amano Shrimp, Red Cherry Shrimp, Nerite Snails, Mystery Snails or Otocinclus Catfish to solve my problems.

So what other type of little critters can i get beside those listed to help with the algae that will grow. Or which do you guys suggest as the best? if you have anything please let me know!

PS. I am planning on getting 2 Angel fish only! so critters that would co exist in peace with them would be great.
 
Do you have a picture of the algae?
What light fixture do you have?
How long do you run the lights daily?
