Betta Fish Tank Algae
Betta fish algae in betta tank.
Betta fish tank algae. Over the last couple of weeks i ve had a horrible algae problem. Regular maintenance of your betta fish tank is a must for any betta enthusiast. Hello everyone so i couldn t make up my mind where to post this thread so i decided to post it here because other betta owners might be more knowledgable with how i can fix the issue because they know we can t just toss any old fish into our tanks.
I ve got a half moon twin tail betta named max in a 2 5gal mini bow tank with a 15w light bulb and a single small carbon filter aqueon i believe. Bettas are softwater fish so a water ph close to neutral 7 is preferable. But if you keep the water conditions in your tank good then you can reduce the rate of growth and maintain the algae at good levels.
The siamese algae eater is an exceptionally good fish to choose for your betta tank if you want something that will keep the environment clear of algae. It s got stone gravel and a live plant in it. Algae in my betta s tank.
If your tank is new then it may not be necessary to remove brown algae from it. Hi all i have a 5 gal hex tank with a bio wheel filter for my betta. I came back yesterday and i see that there is some type of algae growing in the aquarium.
My tank had an internal fairly weak filter which came with the tank. It s almost impossible to prevent green algae completely. However if you don t like the look of it or if you re worried it s going to get out of control there are a lot of options to get rid of it.
My tank light is not very bright. I was away for a month traveling and my mother was taking care of the aquarium. Replace it with clean fresh water treated with a water conditioner.
