It won't take long for the fish tank at home to grow moss. How often should it be cleaned?

Recently, many fish friends mentioned a problem in the process of communicating with us about fish farming, that is, moss grew in their fish tanks, or algae, or the water turned green. How to prevent this and how to remove these mosses and algae?

This article mainly talks about this topic with you, and also conveys an idea to you, hoping to help you.

First of all, we want to tell you that if we find moss or algae growing in our fish tank, we should be happy. Because it is precisely because the water quality in our fish tank is better that moss grows on the tank wall inside the fish tank. Because in nature, moss is used as a standard to measure whether an area meets the water quality standards. So our parents' mossy fish tanks are actually a result of our long-term hydroponics. You can even take whether the fish tank is covered with moss as the standard for raising water in the fish tank.

Speaking of which, some wise friends should be able to guess that moss growing in fish tanks is a good thing! Yes, that's right. We always thought it was a good thing to grow moss in the fish tank. But on the whole, our current fish tanks are all glass fish tanks, so moss grows on the glass fish tanks, which really affects the appreciation, especially when the moss has not yet formed. At this time, I want to give you a suggestion, that is, when changing water for the fish tank, or during daily maintenance, just scrape off the moss on the front of the fish tank. These mosses remain on the glass surfaces of other fish tanks or other stones and wood, which can help us purify the water.

Then let's talk about algae. In fact, algae growth in fish tanks is an inevitable process. And most algae appeared before moss. In fact, we can't completely clean up these algae. Because as long as we feed the ornamental fish in the aquarium, they will have feces and light, then the aquarium will definitely grow algae, which is an unavoidable problem. It's just about what measures we can take to effectively control algae flooding.

Here, the advice given by fish farming is that if our fish tanks simply grow some aquatic plants, put some stones and wood and raise some small tropical fish. Then you can put some black shell shrimp or some tool fish, such as bearded fish, elf fish and other tropical small tool fish in the fish tank, which will also effectively help control the number of algae and prevent them from being too much.

However, if there are some large fish tanks, but there are no beautified fish tanks, then when you change water or carry out daily maintenance of fish tanks, you only need to wipe off the algae on the tank wall directly with a scraper or some rags.

To sum up, when algae or moss grows in our fish tank, especially when moss appears, we should know that our water quality is well controlled. Secondly, if these algae or mosses affect the ornamental value of our fish tank, we can deal with them according to the above methods.

Finally, once again, whether it is moss or algae, it is a plant. So they can help purify ammonia, nitrite and other substances harmful to ornamental fish, so they are harmless in fish tanks. On the contrary, these mosses and algae can also help us to purify the water quality to a certain extent and keep the water quality of fish tanks clear and clean.
