How much did you change?? Did you use water from the tap? Or do you have an R/O filter? Sounds like maybe you've had an ammonia spike. If you change too much you can actually cause the tank to recycle ..so to speak. Since your tank isn;t that old that would be my guess.
thanks for your advice i changed 50% the first time and 25% second time. i used tap water and add aqua safe and aqua balance, do you think i should leave water changes for awhile? for how long? i find it frustrating looking at cloudy water got to learn to be more patient. can you also advice me on how much food to feed how often as this may have caused the prob. i have 8 fish in a 10 gall tank soz for being dim

Is this a SW setup?
Not a salt water set up
use tap water and add balance to make water safe
