Subject: Blue-Green Algae

I was wondering if anyone knows if I should keep a fish tank used in  
aquaculture in a dark rom or a room with light, either sun or  
artificial.  I hear a rumor that if the tanks are exposed to the  
light then blue-green algae will grow in them and give the fish bad  
taste.  How true is this comment??  By the way I'm planning on  
growing tilapia.  Any info will be appreciated, Carlos

In the sun.  Blue green algea are tilapia food and water purifiers.  If
the fish taste funny, just prior to harvest, put a tarp over it, change
the water, add filtration, add algeacide, or something to change it.

BTW, which kind of tilapia are you going to be growing?
