Basically the water is really cloudy with little bits in the water, and there's also lots of fish poo sitting on the gravel and some floating about. Normally clean out the tank once every 2 weeks (25% change), but the last 2 weeks ive been doing it once a week because of the cloudyness, but its not really improving. I dont think its overfeeding cause i dont feed them that much, once evry 2 days; or the ammonia/nitrate etc cause i had it tested like 10 days ago and all the readings were fine. None of the fish look unhealthy at the moment but im a bit worried. Here are whats in my tank:

- 125 litre tropical tank
- Had it about 5 months
- Got a community tank with 20 fish: mollys x 3, rams x 3 , plecs x 2, bowmans rainbow x 2, clown loach x 1, gouramis x 3, ruby shark x 1, corydoras x 1, angel fish x 1, tiger barbs x 3
- Got filter, heater, light, air pump (keep filter, heater and air pump on 24/7 and light about 6 hours a day)
- Got 4 live plants in there
- Temperature is 25-26 degrees

Help would be appreciated, cheers.
