1) There are certain nerite snails that eat algae, although finding them at a pet store can be tricky. Ask around if any stores near you can bring some in. Alternatively, Malaysian trumpet snails can be kept at an SG of 1.010 if acclimated slowly. They do become quite a best after some time though.

2)How long is the tank, and how deep is the water? Archers need a decent amount of room to swim around in, and in a setup with mudskippers, having enough water room can be difficult. Bear in mind that archers can grow to 10" (sometimes a little less), and like to be kept in groups, preferably 4 or more fish of the same size.

the tank is more than half way filled maybe even 3 quarters of the way filled and i already have 2 archers in it that are about 4 inches or so, im trying to make it so the beach is all floating dock giving them more room to swim and stuff but so far im not near done
