Hello, I hope somebody can give me some advice
I got a 40 litre aquarium from a pet store, they told me to put some 'tap safe' solution in it, wait 3 days and then add fish. The tank came with a filter, I got some tiny pebbles for the bottom and 3 decorations, I gave them a quick rinse before putting them in but now after reading I realise I should have cleaned them really good?
My aquarium is very cloudy and the water isn't clear, I told the store where I got it and they said it is probably because of the decorations not being cleaned good. The filter has been on all the time. The shop guy said to put a fish in and at the weekly water change (he said change 25% water) then eventually it would make the water clear up
I added today a single baby panda moor goldfish, and also got a second filter thinking it might help the water, but after reading more online I think the man in the store lied to me as the tank seems small for this fish and surely I shouldn't have added it to this cloudy water? The fish is in there now with 2 filters, he seems ok and is investigating the tank, I tried to feed him but the pellet food (called gold japan premium food for fancy goldfish) sinks to the bottom and he doesn't seem to be able to find it? I haven't seen him eat it anyway
Do you think the fish will be ok? Do I change some water now? When I do the changes do I add more 'tap safe' chemical? I am worried that the poor fish will die do you think the clouding is because of the decorations not being cleaned? Any help is appreciated!
