Hi, need advice please. Fairly new to fish tanks. Especially a bigger one.
We have owned fishes and fish tank for few years, we had a 10 litre with 4 fishes in. A guppy or danino had babies not long ago, we had about 30 but some didnt survive. Now we currently have about 15. We have just recently bought a new fish tank (second hand, 2ft size) so fairly big from what we used to have.
6 days ago we set this tank up to put new fishes in, we used the same filter as we did previously in this one and an extra filter pump (one straight flow and one spray water fall filter) as we were told to put 2 in, due to size of tank, as this tank didnt come with a pump. About 3 days after, the tank started going cloudy, a bit browny colour. Fishes still happy, no change in them. Day 6 (today) the water seems to be getting worse more dirty.
Pet shops are useless for advice, so we thought we would try here for advice. We would like to know what filter/pump is the best for our tank to keep it clean for longer etc? We know the aqua filter we have in is too small. I think thats the problem.
The fishes are cold water, mixture of guppies and daninos we believe, around 15? We are no experts on fishes. I have attached photo from day 1 and to day 3.
