cloudy water after 5 days

[slamster17]

i have notice that the water in my tank looks kinda whitish in color and i don't kno y. i feed the fish about 2 times a day there are 8 fish in a 10 g tank w/ plants. it is a fresh tank too and i did a water change recently.

Did you cycle your tank? If not, it could be bacteria bloom... What are your ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate readings?

 

[slamster17]

ammonia was 6 ppm used ammo lock went down to around hmm 4 get but its lower i did add some dormant bacteria i think biozyme(im poor) not sure bout the nitrites/trates as i don't have a test kit for them yet.

CUT YOUR FEEDING DOWN TO ONCE A DAY, THEY WONT STARVE.

ALSO, YOUR CLOUDY WATER PROBLEMS WILL SLOW DOWN ONCE TANK IS AMMONIA IS TOO HIGH, KEEP UP WATER CHANGES, IF USING A LIGHT, CUT DOWN ON HOW LONG ITS ON.......

IF NOT BACTERIA BLOOM, TRY SOME ACCU-CLEAR.

WHAT 8 FISH?

with your ammonia that high I'd cut the feeding back to every other day(the fish will be ok) and start doing daily water changes. remember that ammo lock will not reduce the level of ammonia shown on a test kit. Sounds like you didn't cycle your tank.
