How much water do you change? What size of tank? And what kind of filter?

Hi Skeeter91, thanks for the reply.
between 20 to 25% of the water I changed.
The size of the tank is five gallon only.
Its just a normal filter and I set it in low only.

Well all you can really do is keep doing those water changes...I have a 5 gal too with ghost shrimp and it does get cloudy after a week of pwc... I guess it's all the build up of poop and leftover pieces of food that fish spit out..

I would kill the lights and stop all feedings until the water is clear. Should only take a week or so and probably only a few days.

then resume with less lighting and feeding so you find a balance where the water ctays clear.

Hi guys, thanks to all of you, your reply helps me.
I will just update you to my aquarium.
Now my aquarium is clear, first i changed the water everyday about 20%.
It really helps actually. Then after one week the water become clear but not 100%. What I did is I ordered water clarifier to the internet. The water clarifier I ordered is really effective.
