Why Are My Sororities So Full Of Algae?

[MermaidMel]

I've been keeping fish for over 7 years and all types and sorts, but since I've had female betta only tanks the algae is out of control, why is that? Is it something to do with them breathing out of water? It's driving me nuts even my oto can't keep up.

i had a bad algae in one of my tanks and i went to my lps and got some chalk blocks they work wonders and i havent had any algae so far.
