Ideas on removing milky water?

Hi is there any ways to remove milky water?
I just did a water change yesterday. like 50%. It was clear at first, then start to get milky the next day.
I have added my live feeds which are goldfishes into the tank. quite alot of them.

how long the set up bro,

the filter/ tank might not mature yet, or due to heavy feeding,

may cut down the amount of food,

cheers

add more BB asap. your media was not mature enough to take the bioload.

There is a rule of thumb which I read from earlier post, after WC, don't feed them any food for a day. Let the water cycled 1st. I hope you did not add in the live feed after WC.

Wait what is BB? Apologies. I am not familiar with the short terms usage as is still a newbie.
Hmm.. my tank and filter is around 2 weeks old.

Argh... there is rule of thumb where after water change, don't feed them any food? I didn't know that.
Yup I add in live feed after Water change. tons of goldfishes in a small breeder container, secure to the a side inside my tank as I do not have any tanks and pump available.

What should I do? And how do you all keep your live feeders?

I am also scare of my fishes going hungry and then go on a rampage with each other,
as I am keeping a RTC, Shovel Nose Catfish, 2 Patins, 2 Gars, 2 Tarpons and a Silver Aro.

Hi bro a couple question needed to solve your problem

Size of your tank:
What occupants in it:
What's your filtration/flowrate etc:
Time it's setup:

And a photo will really help.

BB means beneficial bacteria. I throw all my live feeders in. But that's me. What are the sizes of your fish?

The size of my tank is 3ft x 1.5ft x 1.5ft, Acrylic Tank
Occupants in the tanks are:
1 RTC, 1 Shovel Nose Catfish, 2 Patins, 2 Gars, 2 Tarpons and 1 Silver Aro.
The fishes are quite young still... at a range of 10 -20 cm long.

I got 2 filters in my tank.
1st filter flowrate is F.Max: 2000L/H Overhead
2nd filter flowrate is F.Max: 600L/H Hydra 30 Internal Filter (Recently Bought 1 day back)
Set up like 2 to 3 weeks.

Umm where to get these Beneficial bacteria? Is there a solution (brand) to recommend?

I do not know how to load the pictures into AF. Would appreciate if someone showed a guideline. Cause they keep asking for enter URL of the image. I only got the images in my handphone.

Bb is benificial bacteria that breaks down ammonia from waste excrement or I eaten food. A period of time is necessary to grow these bacteria in the filter media(ceramic rings,jap mat ect). Tbh even if you do not add in additional bottled bacteria, the benificial bacteria would naturally occur just that it might take a longer time to do so, hence having to wait longer. A good trusted brand of BB added in would cut down this 'waiting time' allowing further addition of fish without harm.

Cloudy water can be a sign of a bacteria bloom which may be harmful to the fish initially but would settle in a few days. Cutting down on feeding would help make the water less cloudy but increased aeration and patience would be the best IMHO to let the bacteria colonize the media.

Hi bro i believe your 3ft tank is over stocked. You need to ensure you've got enough medias in your ohf and it's well cycled. The best thing you can do first is to get a master test kit to test for pH, ammonia and nitrite. If any of this 3 is off then you've found your problem. If all these 3 are still in check then we can move on to filtration positioning or various products and ways to achieve clearer water.
