My fish tank water keeps turning cloudy, even after cleaning. Why?

[]

Answer

Cloudy aquarium water typically indicates an imbalance in your tank's ecosystem. A common cause is a bacterial bloom, often seen in new tanks or after a major water change if the beneficial bacteria colony is disrupted. Overfeeding, insufficient filtration, or an accumulation of waste can also contribute. Test your water parameters (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate) to check for a nitrogen cycle disturbance. Reduce feeding, perform partial water changes regularly, and ensure your filter is clean and functioning correctly. Avoid over-cleaning the filter, as it houses beneficial bacteria. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
