Green cloudy water I really need help

[GOOBERFISH]

My water is cloudy and has a hint of green in it. My fish have been passing away one by one. What should I do? I hate this.

ph 6.0
nitrate 10
amonia 0.50
nitrite 1.0

probably need better filtration and more water changes

Waters a bit bad...

Size of the tank
whats in the tank and what sizes
how much and how often water changes
is it next to a window
what type of filtration

could it be because I have to much fish?

Yes, it could very well be because you have too many fish. That's a lot for a 75g.

For now, I'd suggest keeping up with daily WCs. Get more filteration on that tank as soon as you can...



We need to know the sizes of the fish and what you are using for filters too, so I/we can judge just how much bioload your filters are trying to handle. Right now, even if your fish are juvies, I can't imagine it not being a very heavy bioload.
