Clean up crew for my breeding aquariums

[FH1]

Hello everyone,

I have a fish rack with 20 aquariums. I breed multiple species of fish, shrimp and plants.
 

For the last year things have been great, but since a few months algae started growing on the plants in my tanks. It grows on the leaves, on the rocks and on my sponge filters. It looks like some sort of tiny hair algae (see photo, it is on the leaves of the plants in this tank) Plants like jungle val. seem to really struggle because of this. I do not have a clean up crew yet. 

What do you guys recommend putting in my tanks that will clean up this kind of algae? Will snails eat my ricefish and killifish eggs? Most importantly what is the best/most economical clean up crew for a fish room with this many tanks? 

Thanks in advance,

 

Fabian

Nice setup! I use rams horn snails, Malaysian trumpet snails and bristle nose plecos in most of my setups and they tend to do a pretty good job.
