Well folks Ive had the tank for roughly 4 months. Just recently I have started to have cloudy water problems. On 1-4-09 I did a water change and added some hornwart plants. I thought I was overfeeding I probably was as I would always see some food particles float to the bottom of the tank. I digress, I didnt feed the fish for 2 days. Today 1-10-09 I fed a small amount making sure each fish got some of what they eat. I will do better with this. However the water is still cloudy and I had changed water multiple times as the driftwood I added made the water brown a month ago or so... Now the water is cloudy. What else could it be? Keep in mind im not ruling out overfeeding I am just wondering what else...? I heard it could be algal blooms due to overfeeding...???
