Hi everyone. I am reasonably new to tropical fish but I have managed to sustain a tank full for a couple of years. I would like some help please.
I recently changed from a 60 to an octagonal 80 litre tank. During this process I used most of my old water and didnt wash anything. The only things new in my tank are a new sponge in the filter and a new undergravel filter but with the same gravel.
I have been told I am over feeding but I give my 30 or so fish only 1 pinch in the morning of flakes.
I have a sponge filter and an undergravel filter with 2 risers that are not quite long enough to make it to the surface and I have an ammonia filter on one and a carbon filter on the other.
I gravel clean once a fortnight and do a 10% water change every fortnight as well.
My water looks permanently cloudy and I think it might have something to do with my biological filtering. I use stress zyme reasonably regularly to help with that but it doesnt seem to be working.
Any experts out there with any clues?
Perhaps the fact that I recently had either black or glow light tetras(havent matured enough to tell yet) breed in my tank might give someone a clue as I am told they are quite hard to breed.
