HI everyone.
Okay i was wondering, my fish tank seems to get dirty EVERY DAY like really cloudy and i dont have any choice but to clean it, is that normal? and is it okay to be changing it every day? or should i leave it even if its dirty? and im not over feeding them or leaving too much food in there. i dont know why this is happening.
 
First of all do you have a filter running in your tank? and it really depends on what kind of fish you have. You should not have to clean it daily it is not good for the fish and don't make it enjoyable for you. I have fish and clean mine about 1 time a month I also have a filter that runs 24/7. Also it helps if you use the floating fish pellets made for what ever kind of fish you have. GOOD LUCK!
 
cloudy != dirty.

Get a test kit, learn about the nitrate fish cycle. Google "nitrate aquarium cycle" and you'll get all you need to know.

Every time you change the water, you're killing good bacteria. When they start to thrive again they form a white cloud for up to 3 days. You're doing it way wrong.

The only "dirt" you have to worry about early on is ammonia. If the ammonia spikes faster than bacteria can reproduce to eat the ammonia, your fish will be at risk of death. At that point, you change your water. Otherwise don't do it more often than once a week.
 
Did you ever allow the tank to properly cycle?
Do you have an efficient filter?
Have you overstocked the tank?
How much water do you change?
 
your feeding them way to much. i feed my fish once aweek change the water and dont feed them for awhile make sure you have a good filtration system on there also
 
It's not normal, so if you are not overfeeding, it is either overstocked, receiving too much natural light or has inadequate filtration.
