I think I made another big mistake and that is knowing more maybe then I actually did, having smaller fish tanks and having no problems, went for a bigger tank, 60L and have been overfeeding my fish, when I did a water change a lot of waste food started floating around, water was getting cloudy and ammonia, nitrates were fine, but also think the filter I have may not be up to the standard required. After listening to the shop keeper who sounded confident when I bought it all, when I went back for advice seemed unsure. I bought a fish r fun filter which says up to 3ft/36in with a flow rate of 450 L/H. The tank I have is a 60L.
I have bottom feeder bronze cory's x 2, neon tetras x 4 and some orange gourami x 2 in the tank, so using two types of food. Love fish brand flakes and pellets for the cory's.
To rectify this I am doing regular gravel cleans taking no more then 20% the water out so the temp stays within the safe zone for the tropical fish on a morning and night, so will start feeding them less, but how often is best, at moment I put one pellet in every couple of day, going to chop it in to 4 and thinking maybe put 1 maybe 2 smaller pieces in a couple days depending if they get eaten, and with the flakes put less in but still keep it at twice a day or should I do only once. I also have 2 plants in the tank as well.
