The Geen Water

sugarcane like kinda greenwater is not the right way after i asked a few japanese(and after they asked friends back home). the intensity of green water should be you still can see the features and layout of the fish, and the bottom of the tub. it is sorta tinted green. one of them asked me this... "if one can't see his fish... it is difficult for him to take care of his fish."

and no just G&N keeping their fishes in 'sugarcane' water, i remembered visiting some japanese websites showing the same thing, too. of coz, some keep in less intesified greenwater.

as for me, i will choose the former method if circumstances allows me to cultivate greenwater at home.

hmm.. pls ask your friend to help take some proper green water photo to show us leh....

btw, where is the origin of green water?? if it is from china, maybe as usual, japanese wants to be different, so use japanese green tea green instead?

To obtain green water.
1. Make sure filter no to strong. Only wool
2. Make sure light on 24hrs for at least 3 day
3. Make sure water keep warm( off your fan and aircon)
4. Make sure went water get abit green change half tank of water
that leave for another week.
water sure green. remember to put ammonia stone to remove excess nitrite.
MUST HAVE PATIENT. TRY AND IT WORK FOR ME. FISH COLOUR AND SHAPE REALLY BLOSSOM.

ya sure green, but is it the correct green?? how to know yours is the correct green?

Ok, Ok. Pea soup is ang moh green, sugar cane is Singapore green and green tea is Japanese green.

so u mean different places really use different kind of green? assuming if there is no constrain, eg due to weather, which is the best green? is there any difference if used for chinese and japanese goldfish??

look at my gallery "japanese ranchu" to see the green.

origin of green water? all over the world!

sorry still hunting for a digi cam. will show when got one.
1 to filter some waste
2 3day on 24 hrs and back to normal 8hrs per day
3 use heater to 30 de cls. for small tank. large tank need 2-3 heater. electric very xiong!
4 incase the ammonia build up.
IT REALLY WORK. CAN SAVE BUYING METAL HALITE.

i thought in a optimal green condition, there will be little or no waste??

why need heater to make water green? that means pple who put heater in their tank can get green water leow?

I read from the site. The standard of green water is that you must be able to see the fish and both of tug. If the water is too green until you cannot see the fish then be careful you fish fin may get defect. It just like human stay too long under hot sun and get skin burn.

which site?

aeroking bought from aquarium shop and fever bought from lamp shop...
