cloudy tank

[Tener ds]

hi,not sure whats happinng in my edge but the water has gone cloudy over night.The fish were feed friday,only a small bit,and i removed one leave from one of the java ferns the same day.The fish are all there and look ok.ive just done a 10% water change to see if that helps.
the filter sponge was cleaned in old tank water last monday.no bad smell coming from the tank.

If you do a check of your ammonia and nitrite levels and find them to be OK, its most likely just a bacterial bloom...It was probably caused by a small disturbance to the filter system when you did your maintenance...It should clear in a day or two...If it doesn't let us know.

Hey tenner, hope it sorts it's self out - sorry couldn't help!

D-MAC is spot on :thumbup: It's probably just a bloom caused by cleaning the filter media but do the tests to be sure.

i was only doing a water change every 3 days on this tank,think ill go back to every day now.

 

[meloizias]

you shouldnt relly need to do it every day, how many fish you got in it? Once a week should be fine

It's only a small tank,23 liters.2 galaxy rasboras,2 endlers, 2 amano shrimp,2assassin snails and 1 zebra snail. I want good water quality in there so I'll stick to once a day instead of every 3 days.
