You'll get more responses by starting a new thread with your question. Posting a new, unrelated question in an existing thread is called threadjacking and is poor forum etiquette.

I have no idea what a ground feeder is, but one 6" fish shouldn't be kept in a 10g much less two. Rehome the fish or upgrade to a much larger tank. The cloudiness you're seeing is probably due to the fish swimming in high concentrations of their own waste.

I think "bottom feeder" is what was meant. A bottom feeder will kick up a lot of junk into the water. Especially at that size. Do you have any photos?

Edit: or do you mean "Earth eaters" .... Geophagus?

 

[BigJim]

That was my confusion. Earth eater or bottom feeder. Either way, a 6" fish doesn't belong in a 10g.

Agreed. But with proper info we can give proper husbandry advice.
