It looks like green water algae. That can be dangerous as it depletes oxygen, so add an airstone. Decrease the lighting and do some water changes to reduce it.

I read that UV light can fix this very fast, can i buy uv sterylizer like this even if not specificaly for aquarium?
Because my light is similar and maybe will fit.

No. You cannot use a naked uv bulb. It will be dangerous for you and your fish. If you must use uv get a proper uv steriliser with an enclosed bulb designed for aquarium use.
