yellow water?

Question
Hi,
I just treated my tank for fungus and I used an anti-bacterial and an anti fungal. Upon putting the anti-fungal solution in the water the water turned yellow...is that normal?

My fish seem to be doing better since I put it in this morning.

If it is normal, will it clear up after I put the filter back in and change 25% of the water? or do I have to do something else?

any help you can provide would be great!

Thanks,

Tania

Answer
Tania,
  
Some medications do change the color of the tank water. If the fish are doing ok I wouldn't worry. Just keep an eye on them and if they start acting different, do a water change. Yes when the filter goes in and you do water changes, the water will go back to normal. Hope this helps.
