Cloudy Tank

[RICHIE]

i have a 55g with 2 jd.s and 2gt.s.
i have double filtration and change 25% of the water every 5 days.
my water continues to be cloudy.
any suggestions?

I suggest another Oscar and maybe another JD. that will balance it out and make it more clear

Richie - I'm not sure if you are familiar with general internet forum "code of conduct" but typing in caps generally means that you're shouting. Its also unpleasant to read. Typing in ALL CAPS just invites trouble (ie. chevyII's response), and it stops people from wanting to help you out.

As far as I can tell, you're tank is overstocked. A 55 gallon tank is just about the right size for one adult sized oscar. I'd suggest getting more tanks for your other fish, or returning them to your fish store.

Couldn't hurt.

Edit: Maybe change your carbon.
