Todd Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I fed my otos some zucchini like I always do but forgot to pull it out after 24hrs this time. My water is cloudy in the 10 gallon tank. I did a normal waterchange (1/4 of the water). How long will it take to clear? Is it safe for the fish or should I do a massive water change. This is a very well planted 10 gallon.

BriannesFishFam Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I keep my zucchini in the tank for two days or more and no issues. Maybe it is a bacterial bloom? Organics breaking down may have caused a bacterial bloom which makes the water cloudy but clears up on it's own. If it's not that then I'm not sure. But it is just a vegetable so I would think it's safe for fish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 massive water changes generally do more harm than good. pick the waste out of the tank, and wait. it will clear on its own most likely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
