Spirulina powder turns water blue

[DHAnimals]

Hi everyone !

I purchased some spirulina powder from a LFS to feed my Amano Shrimp larvae, when I mix the powder with tank water in a clear bottle and let it sit for about an hour, the water turns completely blue. I know that spirulina is a blue-green algae but I'm not sure if the water is supposed to be that blue and it got me a bit worried.

Does anyone know if the blue is ok? Or is there something wrong with the powder?

Thank you in advance !

Just don't overdo it with that stuff or you're gonna have algae problems.
