How do you keep turtle tank clean?
Well to keep your turtle tank clean i suggest putting the turtle in a separate bowl. Then scrubbing the edges of the tank will rid algae or other unpleasant rots. If you have gravel or pebbles on the bottom of the tank either replace them or run them through hot water for a few minutes. Then just set up the tank fill it with water and put your little turtle inside! Hope this helps!

Where can you buy snails that will clean up algae from triops tank?
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.

What is a kinds of fish eat algae?
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.
Can you put a algae eater in with a carp to help keep the tank clean?
No it will eat a bit of algae but it certainly won't be capable of cleaning the tank. The amount it eats will depend on how long it takes before the turtle kills/eats the algae eater.
