I setup a 3 gallon tank 2 days ago, the one with the bio wheel filter that gets rids of chlorine and chloramine from the water, I added something to the water days ago get rid of those harmful chemicals before adding the water to the tank.
Anyway, my sister won a really small feeder goldfish and without warning brought it home and expected me to find a tank, set it up, and to care for it. Yeah I know 3 gallons is nothing I need a 10 gallon, but it was out of my hands and I have no money so i'm stuck with only a 3 gallon and fish flakes.
I've had fish my whole life but I never did the water changing or cleaning because I was just a little kid back then my dad did it, so I no little when it comes to that.
So yesterday she feeds the fish a few flakes, but being its so small some flakes went uneaten and I woke up and the water is already cloudy.
Do I need to do another water change, or will the filter clean the water over time? The fish was just added yesterday so i'm thinking another water change would shock it.
