Green Growth

[Amphibians]

I've been getting a green substance growing in the water dish in my White's tank. Every time I scrape it all out it grows back in force. Is this something I should worry about? If so how do I clean it?

Probably algae - are you using a bright light in the tank? Do you have a photo? If it is a green algae I wouldn't worry about it.

Welcome to the world of algae. Only grows when you don't want it. I get some on my dendro terranium front glass. The good news is that a water dish is easily cleaned. I wouldn't go nuts sanitizing the dish as algae grows in the wild too...

Hey Rick, good to see you over here.

Yes I have a bright bulb for daytime heat. It is a bright green color. I guess I'll just keep it clean.
