Ok so, my fish tank has been up and running since June. Recently,about a week ago I did my routine quarter of the tank water change. Nothing out of the ordinary, I've been doing it once a week since I've gotten the tank. However this time around my tank turned very cloudy after a few days. Nothing has changed in the tank, only one new fish totalling 6 in a 20 gallon. I've added bacteria supplement and a water clarifier but nothing has worked. I'm afraid to do another water change that might make it worse. Any ideas how to fix this? Sponsored links

Have you cleaned your filters recently and if so did you use old tank water rather than clean mains water? http://www.fishtankforum.co.uk

I clean them every other water change, I use a bucket full of treated water.

by treated water I take it you mean fresh water with conditioner in. This is wiping out you rbacterial colonies, filter pads should only be cleaned in old tank water http://www.fishtankforum.co.uk
