You can get an algae eater when you start noticing algae growing on the tank . Until then they would starve sense they wont have food. Plants will help somewhat . But you would need alot to make a huge impact . Goldfish will eat some plants, so try to go with java fern ,anubias and other rough leaved plants.

Just stick with the fish you have in there now . Get your water tested in 2 weeks and go from there. You tank has to cycle for about a month till you can get more fish .

I put the algae eater from the other tank in the new one. We got some algae wafers with that fish a while ago. I fed the algae eater one of those when I fed the goldfish. I know I need to let the tank cycle. Would taking the filter cartridge from the old tank and switching it with one of the new ones help?
