to aquatic plants? Excessive use of algaecides will cause harm to aquatic plants, which may affect their growth and even cause their death. Algicide is generally not recommended for home fish farming, and there are many other ways to clean up algae. For example, it can be cleaned manually and the attached algae can be scraped off with an algae scraper. Or you can keep some algae-eating fish, which can also eat algae. In peacetime, feeding should be reduced to avoid eutrophication of the water body and provide conditions for its growth.
? 1. Manual cleaning: If you want to remove algae, the most immediate way is manual cleaning. Fish out the fish in the tank, put them in other places for temporary cultivation, then drain the water inside, and scrape off the algae attached to the tank wall with tools such as algae scrapers. Although this method works quickly, it can not cure the symptoms, and the algae will soon come back.
2. Algae fish: If you plan to keep cleaning up algae, the best way is to raise algae fish. They mostly feed on algae, such as kissing fish, black Mary, moss rats and so on, so as long as they are placed in the fish tank, they can prevent algae from growing in large numbers. However, care must be taken when mixing these fish to ensure that they do not fight with the fish being raised in the tank.
3. Improve the environment: In addition to removing algae, it is also necessary to improve the water environment to prevent algae from growing again. Therefore, it is necessary to control the light and reduce the feeding at ordinary times, so that the reproduction of algae can also be limited. In addition, regular water change also has a certain auxiliary effect.
