Help Quickly! Fish food dumped in tank

[jkjk]

hi

i just accidently dumped powdered fish food for my fry into my main tank

the food is everywhere

what do i do

the amount of food is only about a pinch of flake food but how do i get it out

a net wont work

 

[Homedog98]

A small bucket, and use the net to corral it into the bucket. I don't think it'll harm the fish though.

 

[jkjk]

should i turn the filter or be worried about the fry

they r in a breeder net

 

[Homedog98]

I'd go ahead and run the filter... It'll get the food sucked up faster.

 

[jkjk]

will it cause amonia spike

i also guess its a good idea to turn of my bubble stone to get it to settle

 

[Homedog98]

Not if you get it out fast. Have your other fish taken any interest?

 

[jkjk]

i got most of it out and some fish r eating it

the fry r only 2 wks old

Cute! Do you have a gravel vacuum?

 

[jkjk]

no, i unfortunately dont

based on the pics do u think itll be allright

 

[Homedog98]

I think you'll be good. If your nervous, try a 25% water change.

 

[jkjk]

the particles settled but the water is cloudy

how long sbould it clear up

 

[Homedog98]

Probably by tomorrow... But if it's not gone by then do a 25% PWC.
