Can oysters live in a fresh water tank to help keep it clean?
>>Only if they’re freshwater oysters, a creature of which I am not aware. Mussels and clams do exist in freshwaters, though. Know that these creatures can be somewhat delicate. >I have 6 different fish, a crab, an African frog and 2 snails. Two bottom dwellers to keep the gravel clean. >>Ah, just because they inhabit the bottom a detritus-eater does not make. >I don’t have live plants, I’m treating the water with AquaSafe, but the water remains cloudy, and with Clear Water treatment. Mr. Jean Charles Blanchette. >>If the tank is new (or sometimes even if not) you are likely experiencing what is known as ‘new tank syndrome’. What you need to do is stop messing with it, don’t vacuum, don’t clean the sides, let it be for a while. This should allow sufficient nitrifying bacteria to develop that will out compete the free-floating bacteria that I’m guessing have taken hold in your tank. This is, of course, shooting from the hip, as I haven’t got much useable information.
