And this is my 10 gallon tank that I put together about 2 weeks ago

That's weird. Did you clean the gravel?

I don't have a lot of experience with cloudy tanks or platies but-


You can but make sure to follow the directions closely. If your filter cartridge has carbon in it (these are the little black rocks in the middle of the filter fiber) you will have to take the carbon out. It will absorb all the medication.
They can easily be taken out depending on what cartridge you have.

Yes I did clean the gravel but there was so much fish poop in it. I honestly dont think it was ever cleaned.Because after I Siphoned the gravel there was still alot left.

Both my tanks have the white filters with black small rocks in them so I will be sure to remove then before I treat them. So i will do the water change tonight then add the medicine tomorrow. Thank you so much

No problem. Best of luck with your platies.

Please change your dechlorinator to Prime too. It protects the fish from toxicity.
