i would do a water change as soon as you can.

im not an expert and am not sure what that food is but if it is frozen food i got told to rinse it with tank water before putting it inside the tank or this would happen.

hope this helps

i would recomend doing the water tests first and if the quality is bad do a 50% but if its good or just "ok" then 25%

the best way to figure out when and how much water to change is to use the water test kit. after one week test your nitrates if the reading is above 40 do a 25-30% water change. retest again after about 5 days and if your nitrates are above 40 again either try a larger water change or do more water changes in the week
Warning..I will offend you at some point!!!


my goal is simple a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all
