Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / May 2005Is any green algae on the glass tank ok?
I moved my tank to the only area available. too much light and algae started overnight. Is it ok to have some on the glass or are tanks supposed to look totally spotless??? Just wondering how much I need to scrub off in order to see the fish! thx - Craig > I moved my tank to the only area available. too much light and algae > started overnight.

Most people only clean up algae because it is unsightly! >> I moved my tank to the only area available. too much light and algae >> started overnight.

Most people only clean up algae because it is unsightly! I really like it on teh rocks and bogwood, but not on the glass. Fortunately it's very easy to remove from the glass (I use an old credit card), and the goldfish love it. I've also seen that the floaty goldfish almost never floats when he has algae to eat (and boy, do goldfish eat algae), and the only thing that ever cured him completely of floating was a bad outbreak of green water - but I wasn't prepared to put up with it, even for the sake of a non-floating goldfish :-(  Signaturesophie www.freewebs.com/fishstuff (under construction. ish.) |
