I have a freshwater fishtank (45 gal) and after doing a water change and clean after noticing a flower petal from a vase fell in the tank...the water has become worse. It was just cloudy but now the water is this red color, and is cloudy...is there such a thing as a red water algae? The tank sides are clear and so are the decor, but the water itself has a bunch of tiny particles and is red. What can we do to remove this, how do we get it clear again? Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated...thank you!

Well first off all it is possible the flower leaf made the water red, try getting some water clear drops at your local pet store.
You don't want to keep changing the water you will kill the fish.
I have not heard of red algae, but usually you would see alage on the sides or bottom of the tank or anything in the tank like extra items.
I would be really careful if you have fish in the tank, if you stress them out by changing the water or adding to much stuff you could kill them, you do have a filter on the tank I hope that will filter the water. The filter should clear some of that up, you could take a net to get all the flower petals out.
you could clean it
i'm not sure if there is a red algae but u should look it up
