Hi,

Currently have 36 gallon bowfront with this current setup:

Stocking -
8 Tiger Bars (5 tiger and 3 green)
1 3 Spot Gourami
5 Zebra Danios
9 Corydoras (4 peppered and 5 albino)
1 Swordtail

Filters
Fluval C3 and Tetra Whisper 20

Heater @ 78 degrees
100 watt Eheim

Lights
Fugeray Planted +


Tank has been cycled for little and it is moderately planted and light is on for 10 hours/day; No CO2. Recent reading has been 0 Ammonia, 0 Nitrite and ~ 20 Nitrate. Also, all fish have been doing well and there hasn't been any issues (except the barbs nipping the corys once in a while when bored)

My question is as follows

1) Can I add 2 more swordtails?

2) All plants seem to be growing except my Amazon Swords. It seems that new ones are growing but the old swords are turning yellow and dying even after adding some root tabs... Will purchasing Seachem Flourish Excel help?

3) Brown Algae has recently started aggregating in the tank walls. Any advice on what I can do in this regards?

Thanks!
