I bought a 28 gallon Aquarium a few weeks ago.
The first week, I had 2 larger Tiger Barbs in it. After one week, I added 5 baby Tiger barbs. That night, one of them was found floating face up in the tank. I was very sad over this.
The 4 surving Tiger Barbs existed well together for the next week and a half.
Yesterday, I added 3 more baby Tiger Barbs, 2 Large Green Tiger Barbs and 4 baby Green Tiger Barbs.
That makes 13 fish total, most Tiger Barbs with several green ones.
Tonight, one of the baby green Tiger Barbs was found floating face up in the tank....
My question is over the water clarity. It tends to be pretty cloudy all of the time and a bit murky. Does this matter?
Its clear for a few hours after I do a partial water change + surface rock vaccum of the old food... however it clouds back up a bit. Water de-cloud chemicals dont really help.
Should I expect some kind of water clouding in this tank? Is this healthy? I do not want to do constant water changes + chemical additions and from what I have read, this is only necessary every 2 weeks or so.
