I cleaned my fish tank out I and the next morning it was murky looking and I noticed my Angels were laying eggs. Is it normal for the water to turn dark?
 
It could be just stirred up waste but if it had all night to settle I doubt that would be it, but I could be wrong. It might also be an algae bloom. What is your tank setup like?
 
what do you mean by cleaned out? describe exactly how... More info needed

It happened the second time it seems like every time they lay eggs the water turns murky brownish

I clean everything the side the rocks the gravel everything it was crystal clear when I went to bed and the next morning it was murky brownish water and the best for laying eggs and fertilizing them
 
most likely the gravel, don't recommend doing that in a planted tank. idk if you have a pt though.

I have decided to go with sand and a lot of real plants I love my fish and I want them to be happy in their natural surroundings thank you for your feedback

The first time they laid eggs on the intake tube and I put a real plant in there aquatic of course they started moving their eggs to the plant. It was very exciting to watch them be so excited over a plant
