Established fishtank very cloudy after water change?

I've had a 10 gal freshwater tank for 8 years now, it has a few guppies, 2 cory catfish %26amp; 2 ghost glass catfish, where I live we have very hard water, the calcium is visible on the fish tank lid/filter. I did a partial water change, like I have been for years, did that 2 days ago, and the water is the very cloudy. I've never seen it this bad. My friend owns a fish store and gave me a Wonder Shell to put in there, it hasn't done anything yet, it's still very cloudy. I have the bio wheel as well, and it's a 20 gal filter. I did put the water conditioner in it to make the tap water safe. I'm just annoyed that last week it was CRYSTAL clear, you couldn't even tell there was water in this tank, that's how clear it was. Now, it's white cloudy colored, and it seems to be more in the middle of the tank and the top. Towards the bottom it's a little clear.

Can someone please help me and let me know what I need to do? Or why it's doing this?

Thanks in advance for all your help!Established fishtank very cloudy after water change?It's normal to have cloudy water after a water change, to a point. This is over week, so somethings wrong. Have you tried and water clairifiers? These take the small particulate, basically silt and dust, that's in the water and clump it together. Right now the particles may be to fine and small for your filter to grab on to, a water clairifier makes them %26quot;stick%26quot; together so that the filter can grab and hold them as it filters.

Hope this helps! Best of Luck!Established fishtank very cloudy after water change?maybe one of your fish is sick or maybe the glass is dirty and not the waterEstablished fishtank very cloudy after water change?Is your filter still working properly? Perhaps there's something different about your water. (e.g., harder/softer than usual, chemical imbalance if it's city water, pH is off wack, etc)

That's really all I can think of, sorry! -_-Established fishtank very cloudy after water change?you could be over feeding them or you may have to do a full tank change and clean the gravel I know this because when I first started with my first tank I had the same problem.



17 years experience with fishEstablished fishtank very cloudy after water change?You say you have a few guppies. With 2 cory cats and 2 ghost glass catfish, you should have no more than 3 guppies or you are overcrowded. Have the water tested for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate.



You don't mention how you do the water changes, so I will explain the basics. Change 15-20% of the water weekly using a gravel vac. Do not change the filter at the same time as the water change.



Also, be sure not to overfeed. Feed no more than your fish will eat within 2-3 minutes.



Cloudy water is usually caused by overfeeding, overcrowding, or high ammonia levels and poor water quality. Getting the water tested will most likely lead you in the right direction.=Established fishtank very cloudy after water change?Change the whole tank and buy a new one cleaned with bleach.
