Problem Just Changed Tank

[therealpaddy]

Hi i had to get a new tank for my malawi's because my other tank started to leak so i had to do it really quick i.e. setup the whole new tank quickly new sand new rocks etc. i merged in some of m old water from my leaky tank so the chemical levels are good as i put water in a bit of sand got kicked up so the water is a tad cloudy, so after i transferred the fish they are lookin a bit peaky 1 of them seems to have a silvery belly is this just stress from the change and it being a bit cloudy or is it something serious.

Thanks in Advance

Did you use your old filter? What are the water stat's? Did you treat the water? How much stress do you think they been through?

im using a new filter but also incorporated my canishter filter from the original tank ammonia and nitrate is 0 and ph is 7.6

I would say it's stress. So, have you treated the water? What are your Nitrite's 0 Nitrate's isnt good. It may look good, but it is almos timpossible to have 0 Nitrate's unless your tank is cycling.
