What to do if the water in raising guppies is muddy

If the water quality of your guppies becomes muddy or muddy water occurs, you can try the following measures to improve the water quality:

1. Check the filtration system: Make sure the filtration system is functioning properly. Clean or replace filter media to remove waste and impurities. If your filtration system isn't powerful enough, consider upgrading or adding additional filtration equipment.

2. Water quality testing: Use a water quality testing tool to test the levels of ammonia, nitrates, and nitrates in the water. High concentrations of these substances can cause water quality problems. Based on the test results, take appropriate measures.

3. Water replacement: Perform a moderate water replacement, removing some of the turbid water and adding it with new, treated water. It is generally recommended to replace 25% to 50% of the water in the aquarium every week.

4. Clean the subbed and decorations: Clean the subbed and decorations in the aquarium regularly to remove waste and excess organic matter.

5. Pay attention to feeding amount: overfeeding can lead to poor water quality. Make sure to provide the right amount of food and don't let food sit in the water for too long.

6. Add activated carbon: Activated carbon can absorb impurities and odors in water and help improve water quality. Put an appropriate amount of activated carbon into the filter system and replace it regularly.

7. Add water quality conditioner: As needed, you can add an appropriate amount of water quality conditioner, such as chlorine remover or nitrifying bacteria agent, to adjust water quality indicators.

If water quality problems persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult professional aquarium staff or a veterinarian who can provide more specific advice and assistance.
