[SCORPIO]

First of all scrap this algae using a new blade. Change water regularly. The algae will reduced within a few weeks.

+1 Rajiv.. With a help of blade you can easily remove that algae..

[maaz]

agree with rajive sir...do first this then try anything else..

[bmukh]

Mannually remove the algae as everyone is suggesting. Do a frequent water change-say 10-15% every alternate days for couple of weeks. Try and not use any algecide in the aquarium, they will do more harm in the long run

[sushant]

i won't recommend any chemical in tank try water changes and weekly maintenance for a beautiful tank.

i don't think so, many of the hobbyists all around the world use them as an effective cleaning crew member in their tank with no ill effects.

Ramshorns, if kept in check will not harm your plants.

Infact, they have cleaned out the side glass and rear glass in my tank really well.
