Hello!

My kids have a medium-sized fish tank (mostly goldfish) – why does the tank go cloudy so fast? Any tips on keeping tank water clear without constant cleaning?

  • Agree with the previous comments about overfeeding (something I am terrible for!) Snails and brisslenoses are also great for keeping the tank clear for longer.


  • Have you checked the ph ammonia and nitrate levels in your tank? if it’s not food related it could be an imbalance of something ? Does it have a filter system? If so Are you changing out filters monthly?


  • Overfeeding, resulting in lots of leftover food in the water, can cause cloudiness. Overfeeding also leads to lots of poo…..more cloudiness


  • Check up on the kids they are probably overfeeding the fish or possible dropping something into the water


  • Yep, I agree with comment already made. Over feeding can cause cloudiness


  • Make sure you’re not overfeeding your fish – uneaten food often causes cloudiness.
