What's So Good About Green Water? Options

[32Bit_Fish]

Could someone explain why green water is much better than clear water?

And why not every goldfish keeper to raise their goldfish in green water? One reason that I can see is I can't even see the fish in a green water setup.

But my main question is does green water really that magical?

You've got to accept the fact that you cannot see your fish, except perhaps during water change.

Alternatively, clear water with lots of wall algae. green water diehards think that it is not as good, but many other hobbyists think that it is equivalent if not better.

I for one has experienced good results using green water.

Unable to see the fish probably is the only thing that holding me back from brewing green water for my fish.

Have u ever had green algaes in your tank and what was the result compare to green water?

I've heard as long as the algaes are green regardless their shape, they are good source of food for goldfish, is that true?

Few months ago, I had 'accidental' green water as I left my pond unattended for two weeks aside from feeding and the green water started!! Probably also there was some sun that trickled in....howto get rid of black algae that forms on the wall sometimes...

My ranchus seem to have grown too...
