Fish Tank Problems- Cloudy tank?

give it a couple of weeks. It may stay cloudy for up to a month. If you are feeling that the fish are sick from ittake a water sample to petco and have it tested to see what it needs.

You may be over feeding. Left over food causes harmful bacteria that consumes oxygen. Oder also is caused by bacteria. (not to be confused with beneficial bacteria) therefore skip that chemical. Increase your filter size. Feeder fish nor any fish are necessary to start algae. Light is (the more light the more & faster algae growth). You also may have introduced to many fish to quickly IF they are gold fish feeders as they tend to be "dirty" by nature. Also general rule 1" of fish per gal. of water. I take you mean DE-CHLORINATOR not chlorine chemicals as chlorine kills fish. If the water were left as long as you stated chlorine remover would not be necessary. Chlorine would dissipate within 48 hours at normal room temperature. In new tanks because no beneficial bacterial have yet developed a sudden intro of that many fish could easily start clouding with little filtration. The aeration is help full keep it going. Given about 5days with less food the tank should clear up. You could use a chemical like "CLEAR" that causes "dirt" molecules to bond and be filtered out more easily or sink to the bottom, but it should clear without it. Cut back to 1 or 2 pinches a day and make sure they consume it in less than 5 minutes. Put your money into a better filter and buy chemicals only when nessary. Don't clean the tank & filter at the same time. If you do your getting rid of all the beneficial bacteria at once and you will have to start the process over once more. Clean one or the other wait 5-7days and then clean the other. You won't need to buy starter em-zines. Do use declorinator when doing water changes or addind fish before 48 hrs. unless you have well water.

1st thing to do is decrease the amount of food you are feeding your fish, you should feed enough food so they consume it all in about 2 minutes. the excess on the gravel is will be a large part of the reason for your cloudiness both in small particles and in increased algae growth. It also sounds like your filter would be too small. I would recommend a slightly larger filter and a bio filter. the bio filter will not only help with the health of you tank but will filter out finer particles than a power filter will. the cloudiness will disappear soon enough if you get the mix right. I am not a big fan of adding too many chemicals to fix this sort of thing as you are adding stuff that is not natural to the fishes environment.

Cloudy water is caused mostly by excess debris in the water.

You will need a filter that is designed to process and clean the amount of water in a 35 gallon tank. Since it came from your 5 gallon, it was probably designed to filter much less water.

Also, available at any pet store, there is a substance that is used to clear cloudy water. The brand I use is from Walmart and works well. It's called "Water Clear".

I would invest in a new filter and also a vacuum to clean the gravel on the bottom as it also accumulates a lot of grime that causes cloudiness.

Good luck! :)

You see this will happen, you need to clean the tank [Dump out all water and rinse and etc] Bout 1 a month. You have to put the fish in another container while doing so. Or maybe you need a new filter system,

you need a bigger filter. The filter from 5 gallon not big enough.

Its normal, Every body's tank has this when I got mine and after 4 months or something like that it got cloudy, I try-ed to clean it add stuff nothing helped. Later, I went to petco asked them about the problem they said it was algee I asked what that was and they said "Its something that's normal to large fish tanks and its something that you really don't need for your aquarium. So I asked what I need to get rid of this problem and he said just to add in special chlorine stuff and to not leave on the light in the aquarium to much.

- Hope I helped

only 1 thing FUNGUS kinda hard 2 clear some brands dont work look closer do u see little white specs?thats fungus alright

try stirring it around and put those filter rock things in the tank. that should help

maybe you need a new filter. I would ask a local pet store.

Hope I helped
