Hello everyone,
I added 9 new tropical fish to my 30 gallon tank and the next day the water became cloudy and now there is a huge ammonia spike (used to be about 0.5 ppm but now it's like 4 ppm). I did a 10% water change yesterday but the water is still cloudy. I have been adding ammo lock to make the ammonia less toxic to the fish but I am not sure what to do at this point. Should I wait until it clears by itself or should I do something? I use a JUP-02 UV filter and a Aqua filter (3 layer filters). I'm still new to keeping tropical fish so I would really appreciate your help.
Before this I had a suckermouth Catfish that always kept the aquarium dirty with high ammonia levels so I let him go to a new home. The next day the water became crystal clear before I added these new fish but now I have this cloudy water problem. Thank you.
