So dd was promised some new fish today. We have a 90L with six danio.
We plan on getting six white cloud minnows.
Yesterday I checked the water and everything was fine. But it has been looking murky.
I cleaned out the filter again (in the removed tank water, not tap water) and realised I had been missing a bit in the tube just past the spongy thing that sits in the water. It was pretty clogged but not so the water wasn't passing.
I cleaned that and put it back.
This morning the water still looks quite cloudy. I don't think it's a bacteria bloom as it's not as cloudy as that.
I just tested again and all the levels are as they should be.
Do I delay the new fish? Dd will be disappointed but it's a lesson on getting things right, or do I assume all is fine as the tests say?
Should I do a big clean? I have been changing about 10% of the water. Should I do a bigger change while it's just the danios?
