so i have a wide variety of fry at the moment, when i have 2-5 i have no problem keeping them in a baby net. but i currently have 35-50(guppies, mollies, maybe 2swordtails). so i desided to set my 10g tank up again, I will be the first to admit the tank was uncycled but the paramiters have been near perfect, i added filter media from my canister filter and ran that for a few days. added prime and keep an eye on parameters. I had TONs of plants, and have since removed some, the fry range in age of about 1 month - 4 days. the tank is around 80 degrees with a small filter (rated for 10g tank) and a 10 in bubbler strip

my questions are:
-should the tank be extremely planted?
-what are some other foods to feed them, besides "baby fish food". someone told me that use the white of a hard boiled egg and add water and create a paste? any one know about that?
-I have tons of brown algae, What to do?
-how do i clean the tank with all those babys and plants in there?
-is 80 degrees a good temp?
