If it's not driftwood, then the only other thing I can think of is the pellets or food you're feeding them. Maybe you want to try change another brand.

Driftwood will make the water yellowish brown. It also lowers pH. You can add carbon to your filtration system, it will "polish" the water and make it crystal clear. I'd keep up with the weekly water changes for the health of your fish.

Do you have any driftwood in the tank? The tanins in driftwood will turn water yellow.

use "YUCK GUARD" works great. or try using carbon or something like that as a median.
