Ok, so I have been checking my tank for ammonia/nitrite/nitrate ever since I added some extra inhabitants.

5 neons
1 RBSH
1 Gold Gourami

and I was expecting tannins since there is a lot of driftwood... but I really wasn't expecting cloudiness! (The tank has been cycled fishless since like February). I am also testing the water daily and its giving me 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 10ppm nitrate.

Any ideas guys?

Thanks,

Alessa

probably just a bacterial bloom from adding the new fish, how long ago did you add them?

Alessa

it was like 3 days ago.... ?

yeah, i'd probably say bacterial bloom just from the new fish. i don't think it's anything to worry about, just keep an eye on your water parameters like you're doing
