How did blue green algae evolve?
What are blue-green algae?Blue-green algae, also known as Cyanobacteria, are a group of photosynthetic bacteria that many people refer to as "pond scum." Blue-green algae are most often blue-green in color, but can also be blue, green, reddish-purple, or brown. Blue-green algae generally grow in lakes, ponds, and slow-moving streams when the water is warm and enriched with nutrients like phosphorus or nitrogen.When environmental conditions are just right, blue-green algae can grow very quickly in number. Most species are buoyant and will float to the surface, where they form scum layers or floating mats. When this happens, we call this a "blue-green algae bloom." In Wisconsin, blue-green algae blooms generally occur between mid-June and late September, although in rare instances, blooms have been observed in winter, even under the ice.Many different species of blue-green algae occur in Wisconsin waters, but the most commonly detected include Anabaena sp., Aphanizomenon sp., Microcystis sp., and Planktothrix sp. It is not always the same species that blooms in a given waterbody, and the dominant species present can change over the course of the season.How do blue-green algae differ from true algae?Blue-green algae, like true algae, make up a portion of the phytoplankton in many water bodies. However, blue-green algae are generally not eaten by other aquatic organisms, and thus are not an important part of the food chain. True algae (e.g., green algae) are very important to the food chain. They are known as "primary producers", a name given to living organisms that can convert sunlight and inorganic chemicals into usable energy for other living organisms. Most algae are microscopic and serve as the main supply of "high energy" food for larger organisms like zooplankton, which in turn are eaten by small fish. Small fish are then eaten by larger fish, and both small and large fish are eaten by mammals, raptors, and people.Provided imformation at http:/dnr.wi.gov/lakes/bluegreenalgae
Is golden algae omnivores?
Are you talking about a golden algae eater? If so then they will eat any algae that is in your tank which is the green stuff that gets on the walls and decorations and if you don't have much or any of that you can feed them algae wafers which are green flat disks that you should be able to get at any fish store.
What are the harmful effects in green algae?
The useful effects of algae is that it provides oxygen for various living things. Algae is also a food resource for humans and fish. Algae can become harmful if they produce toxins. Too much algae in the water can kill fish because the algae consumes a great amount of oxygen and can block the sunlight from reaching underwater.
What Algae is good?
Algae is found in water (that is) in river, pond or in lake, because water turns out to be green and hard to filter. Fish life is affected, if large number of algae is present. Waters is polluted and fish dies. If we keep aquarium fish will be healthy, every alternate days or everyday water in the fish tank can be cleaned so that fish would be protected, nutritious food will be given to them.
What producers live in rivers and streams?
Producers in a pond are the rooted plants and phytoplankton or algae. They are the food for the fish and other creatures that live there.
What makes fish tanks turn green?
Algae.
Can an algae eater fish live in an outside pond in Ohio in winter?

What is a toxic bloom that kills fish?
You may be looking for the word "Algae" That is the stuff that "Blooms" then decays and poisons the water which causes fish kills.
Why does your pond keep turning green?
Algae Definitely algae. Use barley products to keep algae at bay, or other fish/environment safe means.
How do you cure green water in your garden pond?
if you have a small pond like mine (mine is 300 gallons) you can filter the water through a uv light which kills bacteria and free-floating algae i have a 20 watt uv light integrated into a bio filter which cost about a hundred dollars total. it has been a lifesaver!

When fish swim upside down it helps them do what?
For some fish, this is a way of escaping predators, for others, such as an upside-down catfish, it allows them to find food (primarily algae) on floating wood.
What does algae do in a pond?
the plants at the bottom of the pond cannot photosynthesize and die as the floating plants are blocking the sunlight from reaching the plants at the bottom.the whole community of organisms there will be affected.
Why my poop is green?
I can't guess off the top of my head what kind of fish it is. But green poop is very common especially in fish that nibble on algae. I also feed my fish 2 kinds of foods, algae flakes and, meal flakes. When fish eat algae or algae flakes they will have green poop. It is a product of the undigestible cellulose found in plant cells. The only time you need to worry about the fish poo color is if it is white. When fish poo is white it means the fish has a parasite. By the time you notice the poo being white, it's normally too late. But some flake food soaked in garlic juice will sometimes be just the thing they need.
