beprimeaux Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Probably a bacterial bloom. Either get a UV sterilizer or let it take its natural course. I should go away on its own. Water changes specifically aimed at decreasing cloudiness will not help but continue with your scheduled water changes :) Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 White clouding is usually bacterial, green is algae bloom Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Make sure to have a lot of surface agitation, bacterial blooms can suffocate fish. 1 Quote Link to comment
mystersyster Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Cheap UV sterilizer from petco or petsmart will clear it up in a few days. I usually leave it running a week to be safe. Like others have said, make sure there is plenty of surface agitation. Quote Link to comment
