• Regelmäßiger Wasserwechsel: Perform water changes of about 15-20% every other week to reduce nutrient buildup.
• Avoid Overfeeding the Fish: Observe your fish's food consumption and adjust meal sizes as needed to prevent excess food from decaying and contributing to algae.
• Choose the Location Wisely: Keep your aquarium away from direct sunlight, which can significantly increase algae growth.
