The water in my frog tank is suddenly very cloudy (white).
Specs:
5 gal
HOB filter
heated low 70s F
occupants: 2 ADFs
plants: Java fern, crypt, dwarf anubias
Hagen CO2 system
25% water change every 1-2 weeks
The tank has been set up since late July 2005. Never had cloudy water before (though lots of black algae ).
The CO2 system has been in use since January or February; a few days ago I refilled the sugar/yeast/etc mixture.
I am very worried that maybe some of the sugar and yeast got up the tube from the CO2 system--is that possible, and could that cause this cloudiness? Are my frogs in danger, and how can I help them?
Should I temporarily move them into my son's betta tank (10 gal, only occupant is the betta)? Normally I don't like the idea of ADFs with bettas since the bettas are so much faster at finding bloodworms than the frogs, but maybe they're worse off in the cloudy tank?
Please help!
