My tank started to go real murky, so I stopped feeding my fish checked the filters ( I have one 30 gal filter and one 70 gal filter in a 55 gal tank) they are fine, so I did a water change and left it for a day and a bit and now it has started to turn a green colour and is even more murky, I'm thinking I have to many fish, I am new to this scene so pls let me know I have a lemon oscar about 6 1\2 inches a snakehead about 7 inches, peacock chiclid, and a blue ahli, the latter two are leaving the tank soon, o ya an algae eater about 8 inches, I have now taken the rock out and am about to do another water change, is there anything else I can do?
HELP please!!

a 55 gal is to small for an oscar for life and you got two messy eaters with that oscar and snakehead, not sure how big that snakehead get but , you need to upgrade that tank or lose the oscar for sure and not sure a bout the flow of the tank, is there flow in the water and also and is it in direct sun light
ill start the useful Q how long has your tank being running? how old is the filter media? did you replace it recently ? if so all ??
not really, it is probly a mini-cycle since you cleaned your filter media, as for turning green I would start limiting the light on the tank
