It sounds like a bacterial bloom might be the issue. Even after water changes, the smell and cloudiness can linger if the tank isn’t cycled properly. I asked ChatGPT Nederlands about this once, and it suggested checking the filter bacteria and reducing feeding — it actually helped a lot!
Sehr hilfreicher Artikel – danke dafür! Ich habe gleich chat gtp deutsch eingesetzt, um zusätzliche Infos zu filtern – und dein Beitrag ergänzt das sehr gut
There are several reasons why aquarium water may become cloudy and smelly, including:
Overfeeding: Overfeeding your fish can cause uneaten food to decompose, leading to cloudy water and a foul odor.
Poor filtration: Insufficient or inadequate filtration can lead to a buildup of waste and debris in the water, resulting in cloudiness and a bad odor.
Overstocking: Having too many fish in your aquarium can lead to a buildup of waste and excess nutrients, causing the water to become cloudy and smelly.
Poor water quality: Poor water quality due to high levels of ammonia, nitrites, or nitrates can lead to cloudy water and a bad odor.
Lack of water changes: Not changing the water regularly can lead to a buildup of waste and debris, which can cause cloudiness and a foul odor.
To address these issues, you can take the following steps:
Ensure that you are feeding your fish the appropriate amount of food and not overfeeding them.
Ensure that your aquarium has sufficient filtration and that you are performing regular filter maintenance.
Ensure that you are not overstocking your aquarium and that you are providing adequate space for your fish.
Regularly test your water quality and perform water changes as needed to maintain proper water parameters.
Consider using a water conditioner or other additives to improve water quality and reduce odor
