About Christy
Expertise
I can answer some questions regarding freshwater fish ranging from their care to diagnosing common diseases or problems with the fish. I can also answer questions regarding the care and maintenance of an aquarium. I haven't had much luck with live plants, so can't help in that area very much. Not real good with explaining salt water or brackish set ups too well either. Also regarding goldfish, I have some comets, and have a little experience with them but mostly just general info on them. I AM NOT THAT FAMILIAR WITH ANY OF THE FANCY VARIETIES OF GOLDFISH. YOU MIGHT BE BETTER DIRECTING THOSE QUERIES TO AN EXPERT MORE FAMILIAR WITH THEM. If I can't answer or don't know something, I'll let you know, so don't be upset if I reject your question, I'll always explain why. I would just rather not answer then give an answer I'm not confident about.

Experience
All personal, first hand, general fishkeeping experience. I've had fresh water aquariums now for about 7 years. I've had tropical/community fish tanks, African cichlids, South American cichlids, brackish water puffer fish, and a lot of other varieties in between.

Education/Credentials
None, all personal experience

Freshwater Aquarium - cloudy tank


Expert: Christy - 9/9/2008

Question
ive recently put in fin rot med and removed the carbon filter now my tank is v v v v cloudy how can i clear it quick

Answer
Hi Vicky

Well.....I would just leave it be, since you'll only be treating with meds for a few days.  When you do a water change it should clear up, and if you put more carbon in to remove the meds, that should help as well.  Also, be sure to monitor your water quality after you're done with the meds, since most antibiotics will kill off the beneficial bacteria in the tank.
