Nope, this is not green water when you can still see your fishes clearly. Some algae hanging about here and there, maybe!

That's not green water leh, like water not change for weeks. According to the bros here, the green water is like erh ... green and only can see fish a little... translucent i think. Watever lah. Also hor, suppose to see fish red red in green water, your fish like fading off.

Anyway, your fish so big, the tank so small. Wah liao, u got check your water parameters or not ?

Amonia and nitrite measures will tell the real story!

I just read a few sites of "green algae" ... goodness, 7000+++ species of algae. So which algae is green water ? My mum is eating that blue-green algae tablet call wat spirulina from korea one. So in green water, we are culturing blue green algae ?

getting more complex leh. So many types, which type gf need ?

airstone off really harmful ah? so scary...

As long as Amonia and Nitrite is within acceptable levels, green water is harmless to fishes unless your air stone is off!!!

most probably you have already read some algae will release toxin... very scary right?

The real danger for green water is at night. Make sure the air stone is always on!
