Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi everyone.
im not entirely sure whats going on with my tank. i would just go tothe local pet store and ask for advice but i live in germany with the british forces so the language barrier makes it hard to ask.
i have goldfish and sucker fish. i use something in the water to make it 'nice' for the fish to live in as the pet store said. every day i do a 20% clean because the water get so murky very quickly. they have recently been treated for redness in the gills. the pet store didnt have a clue what i was on about so gave me 2 medicines which could be used together and would kill all bacteria in the tank good and bad so was advised not to feed them for the 3 day course. the fish didnt get the memo and ate the plants instead. its only been 8 days since i did a full clean of the tank, stones, plants etc... but yesterday the water was so bad i did about an 80% clean to tryand get rid of majority of the manky water but without doing a full clean again so soon. today the tank is manky again and i can barely see the fish, its so murky and cloudy.
i have a stingray filter.
any advice would be great. please be nice. this is my first post on a forum lol
