why is my established – 10 gal freshwater tank cloudy?

admin — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 04:40:44 +0000

I have an established 10 gallon tank. I’ve had it about a year.
Lately, like the past week, the water seems to be more cloudy than usual. I did a 3 gal change this am and tonight the nitrate/nitrite and other things are all in range.

The only thing different is that w/i the last month I noticed a sudden appearance of a bunch of baby malaysian trumpet snails.

Could that be why the water is cloudy?

Also, I’ve lost about 3 fish over the last 3 months. I suspected ich or velvet and treated with that teatree oil fish med.

Currently I have two zebras, two platys, a female betta, 4 ghost shrimp and about 500 teeny tiny baby malaysian trumpet snails.

One potted plant. put in a new filter today.

The other new thing is TetraMin Tropical Crisps. Or maybe it is the freeze-dried bloodworms….

any thoughts on what could be causing the cloudy water?

I’m thinking of getting a 30-50 gallon tank and I’m wondering which freshwater fish and invertebrates would really amaze people. No cichlids or goldfish. I am very experienced.
Possible choices:
red tail sharks
gourami
hatchet
discus

I currently have a 10 gallon tank w/ 5 neon tetras, 1 black skirt tetra, 1 ghost shrimp

If you had this tank what would you put in it?

What types of fish can fit in a 5 gallon tank?

admin — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 19:54:25 +0000

I am getting a 5 gallon tank, but don’t know what fish to put in there. I am thinking of honey gouramis, but I’m not sure if I should or not…. Just please give me anything other than bettas, shrimps, snails, and white clouds. I’ve had them before and they are NOT what I’m looking for. I like tropical freshwater fish not coldwater or saltwater fish. I already own 2 neons, 3 glowlights, 2 harlequin rasboras, 2 sunset coral dwarf platy, 2 chinese algae eaters, and 3 fancy guppies; 1 male 2 female. If you can give me some links so I can research these fish please let me know and I thank you for all your time and effort you put in these answers! Thank you and you guys rock!

Feeding Problem?

admin — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 08:58:38 +0000

I set up a 75 gallon tank and right now the only fish in it are a Black Ghost Knife Fish and 3 Bala Sharks. More to come shortly. But the Balas don’t seem to be eating the flakes I put in for them. So I tried some frozen shrimp(of course I waited until it wasn’t frozen anymore to put it in), but they don’t seemed to be eating that either. The fish have been in the tank for about 2 days now. Are they just getting used to the tank and will eat later? What should I do, why aren’t they eating?
