Love is the battery of life....

Hi, ----------- The filter of your aquarium is most likely blocked. Clean in throughly and see if you get some improvement, if it helps then clean it frequently (even daily) untill the water gets cristal clean (or consider purchasing a new filter). No need to change 25% of the water (I didn't change the water for years, only add water when the level goes down) and the fish are simply doing well..... ---------- Best regards,
