Amano is pronounced as it looks... if that doesn't work, try Caridina Japonica. Its not exactly the easiest shrimp to find, but they are cool little buggers. You need a large bunch of them before they'll make any differences in a tank.
However, if you do not solve the source of your algae problem, you will never rid yourself of the hair algae that has established itself in your tank. Seeing how your tank is located near a large window, and undoubtly receives a lot of light... that is most likely your problem. If you can shade your tank from the window that will help. If you cannot do that... then it looks like you may have to resort to converting your plant tank into a hightech one. Look up CO2 injection, and nutrient dosing in the plant forum if that is what you want to do.
