they mainly eat green spot algae, (no phosphates), diatoms (ammonia spikes), green dust algae (ammonia spikes, imblance of nutrients)

Easiest way to grow algae is to raise the lighting or limit nutrients. Or get a stone and place it in some water by the window where it will recieve sunlight. Be careful though as you may introduce this lalgae into your tank which could get worse.
