Amano shrimp
Reddit take

Pros
- However, for other crustaceans, I have heard that amano shrimp are incredibly hardy! I’ve heard a couple times of people finding some that have been accidentally left behind and survived in a bucket of tank water for months.
- But I really don’t think you’ll regret the amano shrimp, I will never ever have a tank without them in it. They even got me through a rough BBA phase on their own!
- On "my" CuC list I have the Julii Cory and Amano Shrimp.
- Amano shrimp are cool, and can live for ages!
- You can keep them with a small troop of amano shrimp and a nerite snail in a 10 gallon easily.
Cons
- Amanos for example are caridina shrimp and many are still wild caught.
- Theres already 9 amanos in the tank, they dont do shit other than steal fish food! Lol
- Parent context: Actually, looking at the second picture, it looks a lot like a bacterial bloom/biofilm. How long has your tank been set up for? Do you typically feed in that area? And do you have any sort of clean up crew? Reply: This ta...
- Bettas will eat shrimp, anyway, and can pick at larger Shrimp like Amano Shrimp.
- Please do not recommend amano shrimp because when I bought 4 saw my tetra eat one, one head in the ground and the other 2 I have no clue.

Amano shrimp are also great little algae eaters.
Adding Amano shrimp or Nerite snails would also not go amiss - bioload aside you need something else to do cleanup beyond the apple snail.
if you want it gone now, and if your tank is cycled, then you can add algae eaters like otocinclus and Amano shrimp. They'll finish it in a second!
