We scrutinized the influence of nonlinear heat radiation on heat transmission evaluation of Carreau nanofluid and tangent hyperbolic nanofluid streams across a wedge with gyrotactic microorganisms by taking slip situations into consideration in this research article. The necessary nonlinear partial differential formulation is transmuted into non-linear ordinary differential equations by employing appropriate similarity variables, and these equations, including the boundary constraints are resolved in Matlab software utilizing Runge-Kutta fourth order via shooting tactic. A definite description of the framework is achieved by fluctuating the inputs of influential variables of the dependent functions and exhibited via graphs. The inhibiting flow velocity is portrayed by the intensifying inputs of buoyancy ratio, magnetic force, Rayleigh number, and eigenvalue. As a consequence of thermophoresis and Brownian motion of nano-particles, the temperature of the liquids initiates to ascend instantly. Because of differentiated viscous effects, the flow velocity for Carreau nanofluid is slower than that of tangent hyperbolic fluid and the temperature behavior is reversed. Further, the magnitude of skin friction factor for tangent hyperbolic nanofluid is almost half ofs that of Carreau nanofluid.
