Question
i have a 55 gallon tank with 4 orandas and my tank keeps getting a little cloudy not to bad but its not clear. I just did a water check and every thing looks good except my ph level is at 7.6 its never been that high before is that bad? could that be why my tank is cloudy?

Answer
Hello Ashley!
The pH level will nag the fish so I advise you to do a full, 100% water change. Then for the rest of the week do a 3 cup water change. Also rinse the gravel to get rid of the fishes' poo. If you don't have a filter you should get one. A filter provides cleaner, healthier water and water circulation. If the water is still cloudy then try some water clarifier. Follow/read the instructions given /whilebefore using. You can uy a filter and the water clarifier @ your local pet store.
Hope this helps! :D
