ah, i think it might be because of overcrowding the tank... or idk.
Well, ive got a 20L tank. small, yes i know. I have 2 algae eaters, and 4 guppies (at the moment). crowded? yes i think so! (my mother bought the fish not me -.-)
okay, so before i used to have 2 guppies and 2 algaes. we bought another guppy, but i think it brought back a disease because it killed all my guppies! the algaes were tough though, but you could see it having an effect on them (lack of movement, colour fading).
so the diseased guppy died, and i bought aquarium salt to cure the algaes. you could instantly see the difference after a week (more lively, colouring brought back, etc.)
When we bought the aquarium salt, we also bought a new filter. i had rinsed the filter under running water before installing it.
Sooo I did the normal water change (50%), added the aquarium salt, installed filter...
And then the week after, my mother bought 4 new guppies (male)
And 3-4 days later the water started getting cloudy...
7 days later, you can really see the water getting greeny. I did a bit of a water change (20%), and the tank water was clearer, for a while.
2 days after that (now), the tank water is REALLY green and cloudy.
Could it be because of overpopulation? or maybe the filter isnt working, or something...?
Please tell me what i can do to solve this!
By the way, the fish are acting normally, as if nothing has changed
thank you
