Is there also noticeable swelling? If its just cloudy, I wouldn't take any action yet but watch very closely for signs of bacterial infections or signs of parasitites. If there is noticeable swelling, I would get a qt setup and ready to go tonight and treat for a bacterial infection if the condition hasnt improved by morning.

Either way check your parameters, and take corrective action on water quality if anything is out of line.

Haven't seen any noticeable swelling yet. I haven't done a parameter test in about a week so I will perform that tonight. I'll watch her closely for now. Thanks for the additional information.
