green water??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
lol now now kids, let's play nice

he never mentioned what shade of green, transparency, smell

it could be tannins, have you ever seen a light green lake :D i have, take a limnology course and you'll see amazing lakes from around the world as well as the reasons behind them.

i have raised gorgeous goldfish in opaque wintergreen algae water. they LOVE the stuff!

if it stinks, you may have an issue :D don't use gravel, use large grain sand :D lakes don't have gravel as a substrate :D

take your water to a fish store and have them check it. even petco does that. good luck. be sure to list parameters as they probably won't be able to tell you what's wrong
