Just add a mature sponge onto the airstone just cut a hole into the sponge and slot in onto the tube.
How much are you feeding the fry as that can cloud the water up.
Whats are your stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph.

i am doing proper feedering when they finish eating i take it away. normally i never test the water because the air bubles sorted it out. my dad just moved it and fiddled around and its now shooting buble out so hopefully it clears up. thanks wilder for ur reponse. if it doen't work i will use ur idea cheers

Test the water need to look at your stats.
Its only a 5 gal and feeding can soon alter stats.

You need to regularly test the water; bubbles have nothing to do with water quality. You need to know if there is ever any ammonia in your tank.
