My 180g com tank is usually crystal clear. Though occasionally, barely noticeable to the untrained eye, there seems to be an extremely faint milkiness to it. Straight away you'd think bacterial bloom, somethings wrong, search for dead fish, get the test kit out etc etc.
I've no reason to have a bacterial bloom in my tank, as far as i'm aware, and yet this extremely faint milkiness appears, and then goes. And then I realised what could be causing it.
I have 3 types of rainbowfish and my turquoise and boosemani, especially in the mornings, are always "at it". Could it be that the build up of male milt is what's making the water temporarily lose its usual crystal clear appearance?
Do a search on line and it's all bacterial bloom/new tank related. No mention of possible milt being dispersed in the water column.
Comments? Ideas?
