Can shriveling plants in a fish tank cause bad water conditions?
-
Two cheap ribbon plants in my 20-gallon tank were shriveling so i took them out.... The water went cloudy last week so i Cleaned the tank... water was still cloudy. I just now, learned that my orange fancy goldfish has Dropsy and this breaks my heart. Where can I get medicated fish food, and would my other 3 goldfish be able to eat it? Would the shriveling plants be the cause of the cloudy water? I've had this orange fish since July with no problems.... I would most likely cry if he died. I really do care about these little guys. This is my first experience with fish so bear with me. I just need some advice

Answer:
CLoudy water is often caused by bacterial bloom. Causes of that vary, with goldfish it's often either poor filtration or excessive cleaning.

i believe the ribbon plants aren't true aquatics and will just die in water. That being said, I do believe that dead plants can cause poor water conditions. Do some water changes and you should be fine.

For your first issue get some water conditioner and clearer. this will help with the fogginess For your second issue take him out and put him in another tank if you can. there you can treat him properly without affecting the other fish. for your 3rd issue, yes, they can. decomposing plants can cause all kinds of things. Such as nitrate levels to go up and more things floating around the tank. Also if your using gravel or anything like that wash it out again as sometimes it can make your water foggy if not cleaned properly at the start of your aquarium assembly
