I comment hor, erh ...

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 ?

bro wet desrt,
erm....those guys were right....
tats green but not greenwater.....hehehe


and to everyone,
i am wondering, in order to obtain greenwater, sunlight is a must...
but will the heat from the sun cause harm to the fish??
like those outdoor ponds we see on Jap website.....
i mean the afternoon sun in SG can be damn strong

maybe can use deeper water, or black netting on the top to reduce the intensity?

an alternative way might be to change your fish tank's location and place it next to the window. And let the sun do the job... I have got pretty nice green water this way. will take a pic tomorrow and upload it.

Phew! You're my man!!

bro... use shade. even in japan they practise that.

partially cover the tub... between the shade and tub, leave a gap say an inch for ventilation.

Are U sure that my tank are dirty tank? I thought i had a good water tank for my gf.

The way to tell is scoop some water and put into a white container. If the green is the same as the green algae on the glass inside the tank, then you have 'green' water. If water is yellow. cloudy or brown, then you have dirty water and green algae...not green water!

cannot lah... wait ranchu becomes deep freshwater diver ah.

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.

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