waterchange mishap need help.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
:iagree: Its probably just abacterial bloom. As long as your water quality hasnt changed, and your fish are feeding I wouldnt worry too much about. Its just not very pretty to look at right now. Give it a day or so and it should settle down. I had a bloom last about 3-4 days. Time heals all blooms.:ROFL:
 
thanks everyone. its been about 2 days and its still cloudy. but im going with you cichlid savage. ill wait about 4 days before i start stressing i guess.
 
If you plan on doing this on a regular basis you should get a diatom filter, or hire someone else to to screw it up so you have someone to holler at!:ROFL:

well probably because you keep doing water changes. if you're experiencing a bacterial bloom, then yes, water changes can hurt. if your bacteria is trying to grow and you keep doing a water change, you're removing what it's trying to do. therefore, making it work harder and taking longer to clear up. i would just chill out, cut back on feeding as stated, and leave it alone for now. depending on the size of the tank, it should take anywhere from a few days to a week. the larger, the longer.
 
yea yimmy..stop cryin n worrying..let it be for a lil bit
 
*sigh* they are still eatting but i am worried until it clears.
 
Got any pics? I'd like to see how cloudy it is..
