A brown algae on the glass + a fluffy looking algae on sticks/wood ? To be kept in a tank with electric blue rams,tatia sp , y loack,featherfin cat and a pictus cat (95litre bow fronted tank)
 
The brown diatom algae you are describing is pretty common for newly set up tanks. Evetually (after a couple of months) it should go away on its own.

How many hours are your lights currently on?
 
A group of ottos would be nice.

Ottos would eat the diatoms. They wouldn't weat the "fluffy" algae the OP describes though.

Also, a pictus cat isn't suitable for a 95L tank, nor those tankmates: they are predators (ie, your smaller fish will mysteriously disappear in the night), they like to be kept in groups and need a large tank footprint.
