Food issue

[tigerize]

I have a 40gal. heavily planted tank. It's gorgeous if I do say so myself. I do seem to be having a food problem. Every time I feed my ravenous fishies the water gets cloudy...does anyone know what's causing this and how I can fix it?

[dandaman]

There are some foods on the market, that say "does not cloud water", may want to consider.

Yeah, I was having that same thought myself.

tigerize: What kind of fish are in the tank with the cloudy water problem?

I'll try that. I have 4 dr cockatoos, emerald eye rasboras, some plecos, SAE, ottos, albino/pepper/panda cories, zebra danios, glo-light tetras, killis, a khuli loach...I know I'm forgetting somebody...And before people freak and tell me that is way too many for a 40gal, my tank is heavily planted.

[tigerize]

I did just weed it so it is presentable...I'll try to get a good pic.

[tigerize]

ok...well excusing the flash and the fact that I had to do it in three pics...
