Argh Help Please Xx

[emmag21]

My tank is really cloudy, despite large daily water changes its not improved. Fish have started rubbing on things (dont show any sign of disease like spots or anything though apart from one fish looking like its gills are swollen). Im waiting for my new tester kit to arrive to check the stats but i wondered if you had any ideas as to what is going on or what i can do to help as i dont want my fish to suffer.

I recently changed to sand from gravel but the cloudiness is more green than white so i dont think its that. Ive altered the filter output to try to oxygenate the water more and ordered some more live plants to try to help. Im feeding them less and having the lights on for less. I just dont know whats going on. Help

I'm far from an expert but the flicking and swollen gills possibly suggest ammonia.

Stick a post up in Emergencies and keep doing large (40% or more) water changes until you've got your testing kit would be my advice.
