A water change might be in order, at least 75%.

Can anyone else concur with this?

Sounds like it's not cycled. I would say to do a 50% water change. Not a deep gravel clean tho. Skim the top for any food and waste but leave the filters and gravel alone.

What fish, tank and filtration do you have? How long has this tank been set up?

You might have to do a water change daily for a while. Not a 50-75% water change after the initial change but I would say that you might have to do a 5% change daily until the tank is cycled.

sounds like over feeding.......how many times do u feed ur fish?

try scoop out any uneaten food and do a 30-40% water change....try giving ur filter sponge a lil clean in the water u take from the tank too
