yes, water changes and cleaning the whole tank isn't always good for the fish if you do too much....And having a little algae is actually good for them because it is a secondary source of food for them and there is also the necessary amount of bacteria to help keep them healthy and the balance stable...... maybe you should feed them in small amounts at least two-three times a day and just not clean the tank or mess around with it for a couple weeks....then see how the fish are doing. By then some of the lost bacteria will have built up and they will have gotten healthier and more active if you feed them small amounts, but frequently during the day....It keeps them active and makes them stronger.
