I have a new tank, 100 litres, set up Dec 26 added fish Jan 5, at first it was clear now it has become a cloudy whitish, the fish have now shown signs of ick so I am treating them (2 days now) have changed the water, about 20% everyday the last few days, as per instructions on the ick med. But now the tank is showing signs of green algae on the glass of the tank.
I think I have overcrowded the tank a bit, I have 2 groumis, 2 platys, dojo, 3 snails, 1 kissing fish, 3 balck mollies, 10 neon tetras, and 9 guppies that are already having frys, I had 13 babies but 10 got eaten before I put the other babies in a breeding floater.
I went and got the six in one test strips and the results are the following rating:
Nitrate-20
Nitrite -.5
Hardness-150
Clorine-0
Alkalinity-80
PH-7.2
