A good supply of algae before the fish are added will encourage its continued growth after the fish begin feeding upon it. There are several ways that you can promote algal growth. I prefer to take some scrapings from the glass of an established tank, and spread the pieces on rocks in the new setup. You can also borrow a piece of "green" coral or rock from a friend's tank and with a toothbrush, spread particles of algae around your aquarium. There are several commercial products that can also be used. Once the fish have been introduced, their waste will provide ample fertilizer for continued growth. Remember, red and brown algae will dominate over green. To prevent this, I suggest that you treat all water with ultraviolet before adding a pure culture of green algae. In addition to the single celled algaes there are other algaes available commercially such as the shaving brush (Penicillus sp.), chain linked (Halimeda sp.) and feather plants (Caulerpa sp.) which can be purchased from your local pet store and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Palko, Barbara Jayne; Hess, Deb.
