Why is my aquarium green?

Answered By Editor


The green colors that appear in your aquarium are mosses and algae. They are water plants that serve as foods for the fish. Sometimes the green pigment would mix with the water causing it to blur. When your aquarium water begins to look green, you will need to change its water (only remove 20% of water per cleaning). In order to maintain aquarium visibility, you should wash your fish tank about once a week. You can also prevent a major algae buildup by getting your fish some algae-eating friends, such as suckermouth catfish.
