Algae in the water of life when you connect it through a reverse osmosis system or through which an ultraviolet (or if you use chemicals like chlorine in water is sufficient). It is normal for algae to everything, what to grow in the tank. If your interior is removable and can be removed and cleaned to soak (in a little Clorox + water, then use a large amount of declorinator on them and rinse well). Or if they are removable, you can use a food Olive Nerita snails, algae. They have left little protein to the window, but note that you can only turn them off if you do not do the weekly cleaning hatch - eggs, unless they are in salt water. Or you can use a Otocinclus get (3 or more is ideal, because as with friends, but only if the tank is big enough) - are too small, very peaceful, and eats only algae (make sure to love are hotos other aggressive species of edible seaweed look like them). If the tank of algae, which will be supplied with electricity either snail or algae wafer ear. Do not go with a pleco - they become too largevery fast, some go bad and your Betta fins can get suffocated in their direction.

How big is the aquarium? Plecos need space, because it can be quite significant. It is also necessary to clean your aquarium regularly and change at least 30% of water per month. A little bit is normal, algae, the nitrogen in the water. If you need large quantities of algae, which is a problem and you should see if the filter cartridge must be changed. Remember, your levels of nitrogen and pH values checked regularly.
