Algae grows on any surface where it can get enough water and sunlight. Algae are plants, and make energy from sunlight. Some places you can find algae include your fish tank, the ocean, rivers and lakes, underneath rocks, on the shady side of your house, or inside of the toilet bowl. They are pretty much everywhere.
