Algae ID

Since summer started, this algae has gone crazy in my tank. Does anyone have any idea what kind it is? Also there is a fine green algae that is also growing on some of the leaves on my red ludwiga and I am not sure what it is either. The tank has been set up since November and I have never had any problems like this before. Also, would Florida Flag Fish help exterminate this algae? Thanks for any help.

Looks like fuzz algae (might be other names for it.) A florida Flagfish or SAE will take care of it.

I tried the h2o2 method in my tank. Not only did it NOT hurt the plants, it didn't bother the algae either. Still trying to figure that out as I have gotten rid of the BBA but now have staghorn growing on and in the gravel but not on the plants.

I use a turkey baster to squirt it directly onto the problem areas. It bubbles for awhile but other than that didn't do anything for me.
