There are three reasons for algae explosion in fish tanks. The first reason is that the water body is rich in nutrition. There are too many organic substances in the water, which are decomposed into ammonia nitrogen, which is an essential nutrient for algae growth. The second is more abundant sunshine, algae growth needs light, if there is no appropriate sunshine, even if there will not be a large number of outbreaks. The third is the lack of aquatic plants, such as weeds, which deprive algae of space to grow.
1. Timely salvage: After discovering the algae explosion in the fish tank, the first thing to do is to salvage the algae in the water in time, so as to avoid excessive oxygen consumption, resulting in hypoxia or even death of the fish. However, if we only rely on salvage, after all, we need to properly shade and reduce feeding, so as to suppress the outbreak of algae from the root.
2. Biological algae removal: If you don't want to clean up the algae every three or five times, the best way is to remove the algae by biological means. Generally more common choice is algae-eating fish, such as golden moss rats, elves, etc., in addition, you can also consider black shell shrimp, it is also an algae-eating expert. In addition, if there are aquatic plants in the water, it can also prevent algae explosion.
3. Change water regularly: Old water is more likely to cause algae to grow in large quantities, while new water will not. Therefore, by changing water regularly and constantly changing new water into the fish tank, algae explosion can also be prevented. Usually change the water once a week, the water quality is good, can be changed once half a month.
