My fish tank got infested with pink algae and green algae and the fish are acting lethargic and dying.
Check the water chemistry using a home test kit or submit a water sample for testing. The local Petco may do this for free or for a small fee. Aim for an absence (0 ppm) of ammonia and nitrites with nitrates at 20ppm or less. Perform partial water changes to stabilize chemistry and/or to improve water quality. Rinse the filter media in tank water, not tap water, and replace it. Use only conditioned water that is temperature matched to prevent stress or shock. To limit algae growth, maintain pristine water quality via filtration and regular water changes. If possible, turn up filter flow to keep water moving. If this stresses the fish though, do not do it. Do not overfeed and remove any uneaten food promptly. Limit lighting to 8 hours daily and closely monitor water temperature as well. All these can promote algae overgrowth.

Can I use Algecide for fish tanks in his tank? There is a lot of algae growth on the rocks and on the side of the tank. Is there any other advice to help me remove it?
There are different ways to control algae accumulation inside the tank: Limit the nitrate accumulation in it (regular water changes is the most common method of removing nitrate), limit the lighting period in the aquarium (4 hours a day) avoid overfeeding. Try Algone, very effective against nitrate, it is not an algaecide but it can control indirectly algae. If all these methods are not effective, algaecide are then needed.

My fish tank is getting brown on the decorations and gravel I tried cleaning it a couple days ago but came right back
Brown algae overgrowth can be due to high nitrates, too much light or overfeeding. Use a liquid home test kit or submit a water sample for testing. Most pet or fish stores will do this for free of for a small fee. If nitrates are over 40ppm, it can be decreased by performing partial water changes. Use only aged or conditioned water that is temperature matched to prevent stress or shock. You can also use a nitrate absorbing filter insert. The algae will need to be physically scrubbed from plants or rocks and can be scraped from glass. Rinse filter media using tank water NOT tap water. Limit light to 6 hours daily, 8 if you have live plants and do not over feed.

Our tank has turned cloudy and green.. What will help this.
Weekly to biweekly 25 % water change can keep the water healthy. Also, monitor the temperature and water chemistry and adjust as needed. You many consider wiping down the sides often to prevent algae from Growing on the glass. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

Is it safe to change my fish’s water and filter? The algae got in up in the filter and in the water.
Yes, you can rinse filter media (the sponge) using tank water. This will preserve beneficial bacterial populations in the sponge. The plastic filter parts can be rinsed and scrubbed using tap water. Perform a partial water change, no more than 30% total volume, using conditioned water that is temperature matched. To limit algae overgrowth, do not overfeed, limit lighting to 8-10 hours daily and monitor water temp. If possible, turn up filter flow to get the water moving. Algae thrives in slow moving water. Do this only if your fish are not affected by stronger currents.
