Cloudy Water

[renee14]

I've recently set up a larger tank for my fish, 3 days ago i filled the tank and added stress coat to remove the chlorine and added my fish a couple hours later. I had the heater and aeration in the tank and got a filter the next afternoon. My water has been cloudy since a few hours after adding my fish.
I have done a 20-30% water change today with no signs of improvement.

It is a 200Litre tank,
i have 4 platys
1 sword tail
4 brittle nose cat fish
1 ghost knife fish
2 cichilds
and i had 2 snake looking fish which both have died a day after going into the new tank. (that have been removed)
I have no live plants only the fake ones and some ornaments and hiding places.

Please help me!

Your tank hasn't cycled yet the cloudiness of the water is a bacterial bloom lots of oxygen in the water. I would get a test kit and do daily water changes to keep the upcoming spike of ammonia and nitrite as low as possible.

I fear you may loose more fish as your tank has not been cycled. You need a few weeks, for friendly bacteria to build up, to control the amonia.
The cloudy water is a bacteria bloom, it will clear soon.
