Help - Heavy Green Water!

[Glasgowfish]

Hiya,

This is my first time writing, although I have enjoyed reading many other topics with such useful information.

I have kept Lionhead goldfish for nearly 2 years now with no problems but I just can not get rid of this green water - you can only see the fish when they are close up to the glass for a few seconds. I have spent a small fortune at the Aquarium buying everything from Green Away to other more expensive solutions to make it go away with no happy results. I have tried a kind of tea-bag thingy that you tie to the filter with no good results either.

I am at my witts end, I love them and can not see how beautiful they are - I am so disappointed with myself - do not know what I have done wrong.

Can anyone think of any way to help? I have a 25 gallon tank and one large, 2 medium and 3 small Lionhead goldfish. The fish are doing well - just me -

Looking forward to your help.

First thing is do u have a filter?. Then is the tank in direct sun light? And another thing is how much food r u giving them a day? they my not be eating that and that can cause the green water!
