Diatom algae bloom 10 gal nano

[Stephen8169301]

Roughly 2 months old tank I’m starting to have a bloom now I went to fish store (without doing own research first) he told me the cleaner shrimp will help with this problem but found that it’s main goal is cleaning fish not algae. So that being said I don’t want to over crowd my tank but I want to combat this issue. Will adding a hermit crab be too much for tank?

currently in tank:
3 snails
Cleaning shrimp
BTA
And some type of shroom

Imo diatoms are a part of the natural cycle of a tank, you’re in “the uglies” and it will typically clear up on its own with proper w maintenance/water changes.

Thanks for the response I left it alone

That looks like a bubble tip anenome, not a shroom.

Alot of surface area to clean, generally a good clean up crew is hermit crabs/ snail to eat algae but hermits.. they just scurry around rocks and occasionally climb glass corners, I think for your aquarium you need more snails to 'help' (from your pictures provided) or a decent algae/glass scrubber, to clean glass

I think they said they have a bta in addition to the mushroom
