This is the first time and algae eaters which are hillstream loaches aren't doing anything to the black algae on the plants,i believe i can't do anything much but change the water to decrease nitrate levels,cause of dying plants probably are related to algae growth,am i taking the right steps?pls give suggestions.
Black algae

If it is black, then it sounds to me like it is a mould rather than an algae. Mould is a definite sign of problems related to overfeeding, overstocking and inadequate filtration. Is this black growth on the gravel as well as plants?
