not sure where you would post it but milky cloudy water is brought about by fish food breaking down in the water and the filter's inability to clean it up. It normally happens in a new tank (less than 2 months old) and is retified by doing 75-80& water changes each day using dechlorinated water with the same temperature & PH as the tank. Also cut the feeding right back. Only offer the fish a tiny amount every few days.

The biggest killer of fish is poor water quality brought about by overfeeding.
