So I have a 30 long, densely planted, with a school of cherry barbs, chili rasboras, el tigre endlers, limia trident, pangio shelfordii, a singular baby nanolutea and a male betta coccina I see twice a month. The limia just got put in today and are already going to town on the hair algae in the tank, and the cherry barbs are getting the same idea. I feed them bug bites relatively often. I have a female endler dropping fry right now. So far I've only had 5 fry survive to adulthood, mainly females. Will the endler population grow exponentially from here? My biggest female limia used to drop almost unnecessary amounts of fry before I moved her from my nanolutea tank into the fishroom, so hopefully she keeps up with that now that I've moved her back upstairs, plus she has a near adult sized daughter with her. Will that population also boom in the tank?
 
I assume there is a male in there and if it is a heavily planted tank then the fry should be able to suirvivw in the tank to adulthood but the current guppys you have may be to old so getting 1 male and 2 females to add to the tank would be a good idea also could I see pictures of the tank and fish because it sounds like a nice tank

As you can see it is hard to get a picture of everything because everything moves very fast
I'm also facing a bit of a hair algae issue

Would expect them to given sufficient cover.

My cherry shrimp and live bearers have sustained an ever growing population for over a year, in a 70 Gallon that they share with 2 Musk turtles, a panther crab, a grow out oscar and 2 grow out severums that eat plenty of the fry/shrimplets.
 
I think the population will still grow and there is probably a lot of fry hidden in the plants and to sort the algae out a small bristlenose pleco would work but it would also need a bit of driftwood by the way the tank looks awesome with all the live plants
