The green is water born algae. Algae is natures creation that is designed to clean up water. Whenever there is a supply of light and plant food and water combined, algae will form to clean up and make use of the plant food and light. In a fish tank it indicates there is either too much light, too much food (CO2 and N. P. K.) or a combination of both so nature is trying to clean it up. Firstly you could try cutting down on the amount of light or the length of time there is light or both. You could also add water plants to go into competition with the algae for the light and food. You may find it necessary to strip the tank down and start again from scratch if the algae has too great a hold over things.

I can see that we're going to need a bigger aquarium.
Green aquarium lights can be purchased at any pet equipment store, or at specialized fish stores. Aquarium lights are used mainly to allow the more exotic fish types to survive in an aquarium life style, and therefore should not just use a simple green light, but one that can provide the fishes their needs.

Aquarium water can turn green due to an overgrowth of algae. Algae thrive in water with excess nutrients and sunlight, leading to the green color. Proper maintenance and balance of nutrients can help prevent this issue.
Your aquarium may be green due to an overgrowth of algae, which can occur from excess nutrients, sunlight exposure, or inadequate cleaning and maintenance. Algae thrive in these conditions, leading to the green coloration of the water. Regular cleaning, proper lighting, and managing nutrient levels can help prevent and control algae growth in your aquarium.

To prevent this, you can try reducing the amount of light your aquarium receives, performing regular water changes, and avoiding overfeeding your fish.
