Question

Answer
Hi Waynetta,
 I have never heard of the water turning "orange".  That is very peculiar.   

 When you have fish in a tank, you shouldn't take them out to change the water.  You should leave the fish in, remove about 25% of the water and replace that water.  There are important bacteria that live in a fish tank and you never want to "clean them all out" -- that is very unhealthy for a fish tank.
