The water is cloudy

[FlareBettaGuy]

The water is getting very cloudy, very fast. I changed the water by taking a lot of the water out, and putting the new water in. Then, I repeated it a few times. But there just seems to be no end to this big cloud. My container is around a one gallon, and houses a betta. After a few days of keeping the betta in there, the water gets very cloudy. There seems to be a bunch of other stuff, too. Stuff that resembles those dust particles that you see on the table after a very long time. when I look into the water, it is blurry and cloudy. It is supposed to be clear. The betta does not seem to hate it that much, but i'm not sure. He's been eating fine, and swimming around. No filter, it has a cover. I've been using the same water for my old betta, and this never happened before. Any reasons why?

Is the water cycled? Possibly an ammonia spike?

If there's gravel, that could be the problem. Sometimes if you don't rinse new gravel well enough before you put it in the tank, it just pollutes it really badly.

True

It also could be that he's messy , I have a female that constantly has a stringy clear slime floating in her water, I do water changes several times daily to get rid of it....and then a couple of days later it's gross again,she's forever bubble nesting so I've come to the conclusion that it's SOMETHING to do with her saliva
