Question
Hi, I am so glad to have found this website. I recently got a 75 gallon fish tank with about 6 large fish in it(about 5-7 inches). I am having trouble keeping the water from getting cloudly and I am afraid that the tank is over populated. How would I know how many fish I could keep in the tank. More importantly how can I keep all of them healthy?

Answer
Hi Angie,
  Step 1: Do you have a good filter?  

  Step 2: Are you overfeeding?  Feed them only what they can eat right away, once a day.  Never put in food for them "to eat later".

  Step 3: You should be changing 25% of the water once a week, every week, to keep your fish happy and healthy.
