Blury Tank

[wei0204]

My fry tank (1X1X1 feet) originally was clear and nice as picture below.

But after some time of setting up and added in new borned fry, the water became very blury as below.

Will access lighting cause the water to turn blury?

Did you add anything to the tank that made it blury?

Try a water change first to see if the bluriness goes away.

If not, you might try putting some sort of aquarium water product that clears up blury or cloudy water to see if that works.

Good Luck.

Bacterial bloom, perhaps? How long has the tank been set up? It could also be an algae bloom. I can't tell if the water is greenish or not?

Thank you guys, I have something to share with you guys...

I have been troubled and bothered a lot by the cloudy water condition with my fry tank. Finally, I have found out the reason that caused this.

The main cause is the flake which I am currently using to feed the fry. I bought this flake once I got some guppy and molly fry, it is fine grated flake. It caused blury water n algae blooming.

I have changed the flake now, it is written on the flake bottle " Will not cloud water". This makes me feel better

Obviously the water condition is getting better since last night.

Before suspecting the flake, I thought it was caused by too much lighting or filter is not functioning good enough. Haa.... learnt something new

Is it possible you are overfeeding? Easy to over-feed fry.

Mmmm... I do not think that i have over fed them, they finish all the flake in about ten minutes time, is that too long?

 

[Annastasia]

10 minutes seems like a long time, and a lot of food. Mine finish it in a couple of minutes, max. How many times a day are you feeding them?

I have changed the flake for the third day and now the water is crystal clear. So I am quite sure the cloudy water condition is caused by the flake that I used before this.

I am so happy and enjoy seeing my fry swimming in the tank.

Thank u guys for your helps, appreciated...
