Bro, its not algae. Actually a type of carnivorous plant . yes it is.



Utricularia graminifolia a.k.a Chendol plant: belongs to the most interesting water plants. It is carnivorous and creates an attractive green carpet in the foreground within a couple of months. Utricularia graminifolia may be difficult to start up but once it has gotten a firm grip in the aquarium, it offers a unique experience for the aquarist.

Depend on how big is your tank and what u try to achieve.
You may try Japanese Hair Grass or echinodorus tenellus for a start. There are some other that is easy and low demanding foreground carpet plant.
Do not "over-do" by jumping straight to HC or Glosso cause it requires optimal care and technique to achieve. But beat me if you dare cause we never know "first timer luck"

Here is one great site to know your plant and its needs. Happy planting.
