Green stuff (it may be algae), keeps growing up the side of my fish tank. Are there any ways I can stop it from growing so quickly and so often?

You can buy solutions that you place in the fish tank water to reduce or prevent the growth of the algae, but I don't know how effective they are. It is reasonable to assume they don't affect the fish, otherwise it would be a rather pointless product. Go to a Pet Store or even a Garden centre that sells fish.

I would not add any chemical too quick; usually you want to check some things first. -Is your tank in any sunlight? if so move it away from a window. -You can put backer and side images on your tank, or just a flat color to block sunlight -Depending on size of tank and amount of fish an algae eater might be a possibility. -A magnetic scrubber is a lifesaver, one side on the inside of your tank and one on the outside.

Well i dont know if you can stop it from growing but you can feed you fish less food so they eat the algae.
