It looks like hair algae. It mostly grows due to the overdose of iron and adding ferts frequently. Shrimps and SAE would be a good treat compare to the chemical ones. Also stop feeding ottos with food. Their main diet is algae and that's why you add them in your tank. Hope you recover your tank from algae soon.
