i recently bought a 35litre glass fish tank
for my 3 goldfish i have a light, filter also air pump
but after about a couple of days the water goes cloudy and i don't know why i use flakes to feed them and nothing else and i use the aqua safe which is drops to put in the tank to take the chlorine away would any one be able to help me with this one
 
Goldfish are dirtier than other fish and need one to two gallons of water per inch in size if the tank is overcrowded it will dirty quickly and the water will turn white or yellow. Do u have gravel in the bottom it helps to trap the dirt.
 
the white stuff in the tank is due to the chemical reactions taking place between the minerals in your Tap Water and the aqua safe and the fish urine.

I live in Arizona, USA and we have really nasty tasting tap water (a.k.a. water that comes out of our faucets) and the reason it tastes so bad is that there is quite a lot of calcium and other minerals in the water as well as chlorine, which is added by the water processing plant for sanitation. Therefore, I highly recommend not using water out of the sink in your house or apartment, but rather purchase bottled water from a grocery store or from a Water-and-Ice shop. But be shure your purchasing
 
well they are peeing and pooping in there did u put the water cleaning stuff in the water, dont no what its called but u get it at a pet store
 
too many fish in too small of a tank. Gold Fish need atleast10 gallons or 35 liters for ONE gold fish. Get rid of 2 or get more fish tanks
 
if it didn't come with its own filter and pump thats going to be it, if it did then try checking the the thingy that absorbs the dirt in the filter.
 
Well my friend that cloudy substance is the fishes way of telling you they like each other... A lot.
