Tails of Fish - New

[Tails of Fish]

I have had my tank for two weeks now, My first day the water was crystal clear, the next day it became a little cloudy (picture) and has stayed that way, My local aquatic shop sold me four fish "danios? .. (one has since died but the other three are thriving) And said I could put these in straight away?.. I added Tap Safe.. Cleaned my filter, artificial plants, Since then I have added some real plants a air stone and did a 25% water change, I am informed I'm experiencing a "fish cycle"? ..is this true?..will it clear?..I am a beginner at this.. Any advice please?..

Thank You

Welcome!

Check out the link to the article in my signature, great info for Getting Started.

There are links for "Fish In" cycling too. Interesting and useful other info as well in the article section.

Careful when cleaning your filter, if it's the pad you're cleaning. If you do need to clean it because it's obstructing flow, be sure to do it in old tank water in order not to kill the beneficial bacteria on it. Otherwise, your tank will not process ammonia too well which will result in fish deaths
