suphew Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Usless you have done some thing like stir up your gravel then it is likely an algae or bacterial bloom, you need to find out what is feeding the bloom. But doing some extra water changes will be a good start. It's not normal for this to happen so there will be a reason. Some more details would help as well, tank size, number/type of fish, how much you feed, water parameters, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So. why is it cloudy?should i change my water immediately? how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljtan55 Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 It does gets cloudy sometimes after a big water change, and if it is that, it'll go away by itself. How long has the tank been set up for? Are the fish gasping for air? If they are, another water change wont hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
