Most fish will not eat only algae, and will eat anything else you put in and leave the algae untouched, instead. If you want to add something to a tank in order to get rid of algae, I recommend a snail or some shrimp. Or you could take a clean rag and wipe it off the tank.
The time it takes to clean green algae in a pool will vary depending on the severity of the algae infestation, the size of the pool, and the cleaning methods used. It typically takes several days to a week to completely clean and remove green algae from a pool. Regular maintenance and proper chemical treatment can help prevent future algae growth.
Ramshorn snails feed on decaying plant matter, algae, and leftover fish food. They are scavengers and help clean up debris in aquariums.
You can remove algae from cement by scrubbing the affected area with a mixture of water and white vinegar. You can also use a pressure washer or a commercial algae remover to effectively clean the surface. Once the algae is removed, make sure to treat the area to prevent regrowth.
Algae benefit aquatic turtles by providing a food source as turtles may eat algae. Algae can also provide shelter for turtle hatchlings or smaller turtles. Additionally, algae can help keep the water clean by absorbing excess nutrients.
Brine shrimp hatch in a certain amount of salt in there water. If you are trying to make brine shrimp (sea-monkeys) you need to add half a tbl spoon full of salt to purified water. You can not use tap water they can die. The life span of sea monkeys (brine shrimp) is only 6 to 8 months long. Brine shrimp can survive without food for days even months. Adult brine shrimp can also, survive without water. I am entering the science fare for the fourth grade science fair. My project is on brine shrimp. So far i found out brine shrimp hatches the best in fresh water that has half a tbl spoon full of salt. That is how brine shrimp hatch. BY:Natalie Burnau 4th grade
Yes! You can buy brine shrimp at a local pet store, just ask the owner how to feed them to a beta fish. Usually you freeze them and don't need to clean them. I just got brine shrimp and I'm excited to try them out! Goodluck :]
Algae is a very small plant that is green so when you get enough of it in the water it makes the water look green
There are many different aquarium animals that will clean algae off the walls of your aquarium. I will name a few: Cories, Plecostomus (AKA, Pleco) and more. There are some algae eaters that are not fish. Mystery snails, freshwater snails, and other water snails eat algae. Ghost shrimp are small and are very easy to take care of. They clean the decorations in your fish tank and eat any uneaten, leftover food.

To clean algae from a vinyl pool liner after it has become crystallized, use a solution of bleach and water with a scrub brush. One cup of bleach for every 5 gallons of water should be enough to clean the vinyl liner. Rinse well, then let dry before storing the pool.
Everything feeds on shrimp which is why they always recommend a shrimp ONLY tank if you are planning to breed them or have very expensive shrimp!! Even some people will recommend certain fish but if they are nippy then no go unless you have a lot of hiding places because even a hungry non aggressive fish will tank a go at a freshly molted shrimp! Also The one and only fish that is 100% safe for shrimp especially crystal reds because they both prefer a softer water is the otto algae eater so it will clean tank walls and plants without putting your shrimp in danger!!!
Snails will not clean up the algae. Yes they will eat some of the algae and poop a lot and use up oxygen that your fish need but certainly they will not clean the tank. The only way to get rid of the algae is to physically remove it with scrubbers, scrapers and maybe a syphon hose too depending on how bad or thick the algae is.
sucker-fish, or any other fish, do NOT eat waste. they sometimes eat uneaten food and they are good for tanks because they help clean it.. They eat algae in the tank but it usually isn't enough. Feeding them algae wafers is a good to make sure you are feeding your fish enough food.
you buy an algae fish at a pet store to eat the algae.
No. They only eat algae. They are no fish that are tank cleaners.
algae tends to grow faster in clean water. so it depends if the aquarium is clean or the lake.depends on what lake.
