Hi
I'm relatively new to keeping fish. I was given a single fancy tail Oranda goldfish in a 25l tank and just bought a 110l tank to transfer it into. I've filled up the tank and got the filter and pump running. I added some 'filter booster', but no fish yet... thought I'd wait a day until the temperature of the tank settled. But, now the fishless tank water is cloudy... is it safe to put my Oranda in there? Is this just part of the cycling of the tank (even though I don't have any fish, only gravel in the tank?
I'd really appreciate some help, as I am keen to move my Oranda as its current tank is too small, but I don't want to move it into an environment that would create more problems for it!
Advice/help needed by those in the know please!
Thanks
