Afternoon guys,
Go easy on me . I have a 46L (With the intensions of moving to a bigger tank soon to accommodate the Pleco) tank and after the 3 day fishless cycle (also with the water being checked for chemicals etc), which was recommended, we added a Beta, 4 guppies, 6 Tetras, 2 Corydorus and a golden nugget Pleco. The day after the fish were added the tank went immensely cloudy. We expected this so carried out regular water changes and filter clean ups. 4 Weeks down the line we are still experiencing smelly and cloudy water. The daily changes seem to work for a day then we are back to square 1. Do we need a new filter as we only have the one which come with the tank? Or is it just a case to persist with the water changes till the tank naturally settles down? The smell it self is not your normal fishy smell this catches the back of your thought (Suspected Ammonia I think )
Any advice would be good guys, im taking it as a learning curve but don’t want my fish to be harmed.
Thanks
