Why is the water in the aquarium cloudy and white after it's been changed?

Answer by  1magicturtle (51)

Your tank is cycling. Do not overfeed your fish and do gradual water changes. Do not remove more than 20% of the water at a time.

The new water or the water bucket could have been dirty, tiny harmless air bubbles or you changed too much water (over 25%) and killed off the beneficial bacteria.

In most situations the water should be clear after changing. If there are purifying agents in the water it's better to not use tap water. That will solve the cloudiness.
