Around 2 weeks ago now I ventured into fish keeping again, last time
was over 5 years ago. I am starting with a small tank, and maybe move up in size. The tank is around 13-15 litres. 3 goldfish, nothing fancy, at the moment there are no plants. I am using a Fluval 1 "Plus" Underwater filter. I started my tank off with tap water, left over night, I also added Tetrafin Aquasafe into the water to make it safe for the fish. This was 2 weeks ago. Within about 24 hours the tank went quite cloudy, kind of a green/grey colour. After some research, as I have never had this problem in the past, I thought it may be a case of "New tank syndrome". Just now I tested the PH and also ammonia levels - ammonia was at 1.5mg/l and the PH was around 8.5. These I think are a little high. Should I just wait it out for another few weeks - after all the fish seem to be feeding fine and appear to be "happy" - or should I part change some of the water, or would that just make the problem go on longer? Thank you in advance, Jon |
