Depending upon the type of filter, it can be used for several different purposes (adding meds etc) but normally it is simply a place where the water sits either prior to or after being filtered. In some filtration set ups the retention tank is filled with algae and the water is oxegenated and purified even more before going into the aquarium.

Why after 2 day the water in the tank has gone murky and the fishes lopks like they are gasping for air.?
Sounds like high ammonia levels to me. What kind of filtration do you have? If it's too weak for the size of your tank, this may be the cause. A good rule of thumb is to provide a filtration system that is 2x the capacity of your tank, ie...tank+30 gallons, power filter capacity is 60 and above.. GOOD LUCK!
