Why do fish aqauriums turn cloudy?

They should not turn cloudy. If yours does, then you must be doing something wrong. Is your gravel cleaned properly? Have you allowed more than 1 gallon of water per 1 inch of fish? Is your filter properly cycled and operating efficiently? Is the tank at the right temperature for the species of fish it houses? Have you been replacing at least half of the water weekly? If the answer is "No" to any of those questions, you will have the reason for the cloudyness.
