Cloudy Tank

[Guru]

I lost one of my fish today, vanished without a trace, again (must b a black hole in there or something).

anyway my other half decided to take matter into her own hands and take out the plants and ornaments to find it,but has now 'accidently' distrurbed the gravel and the water has gone VERY cloudy and most of the fish are now just practically lying at the bottom of the tank

its been over an hour now and the water has started to clear but the fish dont look to well and i think at least 1 has died

anything i cud do to help them or is it just a case of letting the filter do its job and hoping for the best

Thanks in due course

btw i hav a 75ltr tank

been up and running now 4 nearly 3 months

i DID hav around 20 fish in their, dont really want to look at how many i got now

You are maxed out at 20 fish in there, even if the fish are very small...

What are the fish in there and how many are there?
What are your ammonia and nitrite levels?
How often do you feed the fish and change the water?
What do you do if/when you change the water?

I would do a water change...soon.

Yep, do a 25% water change once a day for the next couple of days and test your water parameters to see if anything is high. If ammonia or anything else is a bit on the high side, keep up the water changes until things stabilise.
