Fish, water, and chickens

[FarmerGirl101]

So my neighbour has a light blue clear waterer and it gets build up very often. They were thinking about fish in it which it is 3.5 gallons of water. Would this work?

Build up of what?

Alage and some red stuff that I don't know

maybe a few algae eaters but if it is in the sun they will get too hot. 3.5 gallons of water isn't really enough water for anything.

Okay, thanks! And welcome to BYC!!!

I think you'd just end up with dead fish. Plus they poop. You'd be replacing algae with fish poop.

Better to get an opaque waterer and keep it in the shade as much as possible. I get no build up of anything in my waterer.
