Acf Question

[BLONDBIRD]

Hi
I have got a 4 foot aquarium and the water has become cloudy, I have a filter which is working fine as it is a new one, I remember being able to buy something that you can add to the water to make it clear again, I used this occasionally when I used to keep fish, the question is I have got 3 ACFs in the tank and would it harm the frogs if I used it with them in the aquarium, by the way its just them in the tank and no other living thing. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

i don't know about products that will or won't harm them, but in my experience, ACFs are terribly filthy animals. I always found it near impossible to keep the tank clean at all. I think they slough off a lot of skin. Sorry i can't be more help

You mentioned its a new filter, could this be new tank syndrome?

Ive never heard of new tank syndrome so I dont know what that is.
Can you explain it to me?
Thanks

Yes ACF are notoriously mucky creatures. I'd perform a water change and see if the situation clears up.

Anyway ACF are pretty hardy animals so I wouldnt worry too much about the animal being effected.

Good luck
