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.
tough question well the algae is really gross and has many bacteriums and oyher microscopic beings so if i were you i would clean the algae out the pool
Macroscopic algae is better known as seaweed. An important ecological role that is shared by macroscopic algae is that it helps to clean the sea, prevents erosion and it serves as a food for fish and plankton.
If you have algae growing in your whole house filter, you will want to take care of it before it grows any further. You will need to discard the old filters, clean the housing with bleach to kill the algae, and put new filters in.
Try 1 oz. of bleach to a pint of water. Soft scrub brush in a circular motion to get into the grooves. May need to repeat cleaning a second time to kill the algae or mould. However if it an exterior slate you must seal it as it will always get moulds, mosses and algae. Do not attempt to add a higher concentration of bleach as it may discolour the slate.
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.
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.
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!!!
you buy an algae fish at a pet store to eat the algae.
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.
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.
