I have a 20 gallon tank with 4 balloon mollies, 10 harlequin rasboras, and 2 baby common plecos.
My water parameters are 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 20 nitrate.
Anyways, I rinsed and added a second cartridge to my filter last week (leaving the original cartridge in so the bacteria gets transferred onto the new one) and 2 days after adding it, I started noticing white dust-like particles just floating around my tank as well as at the surface. I don’t know if there is a correlation between adding the new cartridge and the white dust-like particles. My fish seem to be doing okay since none of them are gasping at the surface or anything and none have died. I cancelled out the belief that my tank’s cycled was disturbed since my parameters are fine. Any ideas on what this could be and how I can fix it?
