How do I deal with a rampant Algae problem?

[TheDoctorCat]

I'm not a person that has a fish tank irl, so I don't know what to do. My tank is almost at 100% algae, and while I like the look of a small amount I don't want my entire tank to be covered. How would I lower the amount of algae in my tank?

The algae rollover panel's metabolism tab shows what the algae consumes and produces. If you reduce the overall amount of nutrients or Co2 that is in the water below what the algae needs to consume then it's growth will stop and it will reduce in quantity. However this will also harm whatever plants are in your aquarium too.

That is not a great situation to have to subject your aquarium to. We'll add a dissolvable pill into the game this coming Friday that will act as an algae killer and reduce algae to a more manageable quantity.

I can also try see if I can squeeze in a new "algae eating" fish behaviour for Friday's update too. The tetras, platies and guppies do actually eat algae in real life and they should also do so in the game. It will be a more natural way to control algae.

Love if this fish could be in it! I don't really like pills as its becomes very non interactive but could be an option but like the creature in the tank to do the job. ;)

On Friday we updated the game to include a dissolvable tablet that reduces algae and added a behaviour for all fish that enables them to eat algae. We also wrote a small entry in the in-game help that will tell you some information about how algae works in the game. We will also be tweaking the algae code more this month so there is a balance of algae growth behaviour.

See, this is why this developer is one of the best. Constantly taking feedback and making their game better. Awesome work guys.
