You are WELL OVERSTOCKED!!!:eek:

The set up clearly cant handle those big fish, producing big mess. The cloudyness you see is from the fish waste....together with what could be an underspec'd filter , may lead to Amonia spike = dead fish:(

The tank cant be more than 75 - 80g. The oscars and particularly arro have a lot of growing still to do.

Upgrade or off-load some fish before its too late.

In the pics, why is the water level not filled to top of tank?
i just got the tank bro.. upgrade is off rite now...but off load fish ok...but which one?

i just got the tank last week bro...what do u suggest..? off load the fish ..which one? water to the top of the tank ..dont u think it will spill out ?
 
fishes:
1- 12 inch silver arowana- Lose this one
2- 3 tiger oscar 9inch lose all, or keep one oscar and lose all other fish
3- 2 albino oscar 9inch
4- 3 small angel fish- fine
5- 2 Pangasius Sutchi 5 inch fine for know, will need bigger tank soon
6- 4 Climbing Perch (Anabas Testudineus) 3inch , Have now Idea, but I think their fine

Your other tank is way overstocked too. Your gonna probably get flamed for this, and not doing your research beforehand. But, lessons learned. Lets just get this fixed.

No flaming on my end.

But, you might want to add a bigger filter...FX5 and your "Big Boy" 1200 would work.

ok rite..my big boy1200 i do have those...i think i know whats the prob now...cuz i did some research ..(thanks to kzimmerman) lol...
alrite here it is....the feeder fish ...i buy for at least 50-100 fish...i dump it in all in the tank at once...that might be the prob rite..?
but the oscars yes i do agree...they do a great deal of mess thou in the tank..loosing them..how do i loose them ? release thm in the wild?
 
you should never do a full 100% water change, do a 50% every week or two, and try to cut back one atleast 2 of the oscars, or build a sump, and put the bio media that you have as gravel, put it in the filter not the bottom of aquarium

ok sure do will try that....how do i build a sump....do u think my aquarium can have one...cuz i put it in the living room thou...
 
jesus. Dont put 100 feeders in a week. Way too many. Like said, get rid of a lot of your fish. You really need to spend time reading..get a good filter, learn how to do water changes, fill to the top or at least an inch from the top why would you not?, feed better quality food, etc.
