need help with my water.....(Look at this)

[ObolskY]

so my water in my tank has kept getting cloudy and no matter what i buy or what i do to make the make the water clear does not work. I am started to get really mad about this and want to get rid of my tank. I have 2 oscars(i know oscars are dirty fish but mine are not bad), a jack dempsey, a green terror, and some play mates (2 plecos). Hopefully someone could help me with this thanks for your time.

So how big of a tank do you have? and why are your oscar so special that they make less mess than any others?

 

[repella42]

what size tank? What kind of filtration? All cichlids make a huge mess, and plecos are pooping machines. Sounds like you need more filtration and cut down on the feeding.

This was awesome.

Still no response from the OP?? Why do pepople ask questions on here and don't come back for the answers? Cause they realize they don't have a clue about fish/fish keeping?????


It's pretty annoying if you ask me.
