I've had my axie for 5 months now and everything has been well except for the last two months I have been struggling with an unexplained cloudiness in my tank. I don't know what it is and have tried all I can think of.
He is alone in a 10 gallon tank and I feed him bloodworms and earthworms as of recently.
I've tried daily 50-80% water changes, it was clear for a few hours but became cloudy again quickly.
a full water change and a vinegar wash of everything except the filter,
a stronger filter (canister made for 50 gal)
I even bought a new filter, the Penplax 150 (had the 100 before)
My levels all read normal, nitrate of about 20 ppm or less.
He does not seem to be stressed but I can't even see him most of the time and it's very concerning.
Does anyone know what this is or what I can do to fix this?
