Urgent Help/Advice needed: 29gallon + fish

I forgot to mention as a solution to algae: the highly regarded Nerite Snails and/or Ghost or Glass Shrimp. Both are effective algae eaters. As is the Chinese Algae Eater fish.
The Nerite snails are the most effective, cleaning even a heavily algaed tank. The smaller Olive Nerite snails will clean any surface in the tank, including aquatic plants without harming them. While their larger more ornamented cousins; Tiger/Zebra Nerite Snails mostly clean tank walls. Both are prized, useful and attractive additions to the aquarium owner. They do not breed and infest a tank like some other snails, requiring special water conditions to breed. ( I may take up the challenge.)
The Nerite Snail, Ghost Shrimp and Chinese Alage Eaters need fairly toxin free water conditions.
Happy Aquarium Diving- Mont.
Happy to report that so far my ammonia had been at Zero + zero nitrates and nitrites.

All fish looking happy.

SEED is really helpful.

Very cool. With seeding usually a new tank, hospital, breeding tank of mine will be cycled right away to a few days or a week. In larger tanks try to put the seeding material in different spots for a faster cycling process. I find that temporarily migrating out some fish stock to another tank or oxygenated fish bowl will also speed the process.
I f adding new stock at this point, add a little at a time. Perhaps one fish per week. Happy for you--Mont.
