    Did you meddle with the filter recently? Or bump into it or anything that could dislodge debris stuck in the media?

    How long has the tank been established? What and when were your last tank additions?

    A couple months and do you mean fish? I've had all of these fish for over 3 months and all of them have been in the tank since it was put up with an established filter. I actually just removed a fish.

    Did something get into your filter? Or is something constantly kicking up sand? Eh?

    Did you add any rocks or any other decor?

    What is your water change schedule like?

    It's black sand. And I don't think anything got into my filter.

    check the ammonia in your tap water. if it is higher than usual coming out of your tap, then it is your beneficial bacteria populating to the point to be able to process that extra ammonia.
