Help! Tried everything out of ideas to get clear water
Hey guys I’m really at my witts end and don’t know what else to try. I have 20 gallon tank with two gold fish from the fair in it. Every thing was going great with the tank health until I read that you should be feeding them pellets instead of flakes. I switched to pellets for two days but they didn’t eat them so they ended up sinking and expanding and creating a mess. That was a bout a month ago. And I’ve been trying to get the tank back to health again and it’s not going well
The water is extremely murky and smells horrid. I have tried a water clarifier. I did a 70% water change yesterday with a gravel vacuum and the attached picture was the result … so it really didn’t clear it up very much. Even though the water that it sucked up had so much brown sediment in it. I don’t know what else to do at this point. Is it safe to do a 90-100% water change? I just want to preserve my little guys I really like them. After about 2-3 hours the filter will be full of light brown scum
