You tank is cloudy because you have too many fish in a small tank, and you have goldfish in a tank much too small for them in the first place. Why did you get even more fish? Last time I posted you didn't have a gourami or a moor. Your tanks were too small for what you already had, now you have more fish...and species that don't belong together to boot.

Tank is 5 > > gallons.- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - Make sure your tank is not in a window or getting sunlight, and in time this bloom that is making the water coudy will go away.its all part of a tank following the natural cycling routine. Its really a bacterial bloom and most if not all tanks do go thorugh it, but usually on a tank that is being cycled properly there would not have been fish in it at this time yet, since tank is still cycling.
