Algae Bloom/Green Water | 8 comments (6 topical, 2 editorial, 0 hidden)

It's greening up again! (none / 0) (#8)

And I'm delighted! Of course this is in reference to the 20 gallon tank which clears every May and gets green again in July as the afternoon sunlight "returns". The daphnia cultures will feed especially well and if the young millenium rainbows ever leave many eggs, there will be greenwater for the fry. :)

In the meantime, the Ameca splendens in the greenwater tank don't mind the green. They may even appreciate the slightly better (lower nitrate & ammonia) water quality. A female looks ready to drop her 1/2 inch fry.

Clearly, or is that cloudily? different strokes for different folks. :)

Wouldn't want that in the other tanks though.

All the best,
u.s.
