i have a 55 gal with oscers and cichlids and pirana.. since i changed the water and filter last week its been cloudy and they arent eating well. now today all the fish are at the top of the tank. ph seems fine and temp is ok

Answers:

Sounds like you have some sort of nitrogen problem in your tank..take a water sample to your local pet shop asap for evaluation.

Your filter may be malfunctioning as well..need to know what type filter you are using to be of any help there.

I am amazed that you have a pirana co-existing with chiclids.chiclids need brackish water! Piranas need fresh, also thats alot of large fish for a 55 gal tank! Creating alot of waste in such a small space ^'s your nitrogen levels.

Good luck

Dude, ur fish are not getting enough oxygen.

Hope this helps : )

Oxygen level is out of wack. You may have put everything back together wrong which is why it's cloudy

im going to sayy that fish dont usualy do that, but u probly already no that so ill tell u something else. u probly did something wrong when u replaced the filter, wrong type of filter for instence or put it in the wrong way i dont no the exact specifications of ur tank but im going to say its ur filter.
