Shrimps probably will be eating by your arrowhead as well

You need to specify your tank parameter, light, size, etc.

hi there, description is too vague to help further.

you need to let us know what kind of algae you have. Some algae, like those that always appear on the glass surface, does not necessarily mean anything is wrong with your tank
