Try to change the 50% of the water every week with a gravel vacuum. Make sure to check the ammonia and nitrites are 0 and have the KH and GH at least 100 ppm for gold fish and advised to use a large tanks for gold fish, use a more than one filter for redundancy and don’t use sponge filter go for a good bio filter. Thinks this would make your fish tank look better with a crystal view.

It kindnof depends on the size tank considering usually gold fish tanks are like a gallon or two if its new it will be cloudy till the substrale settles 1-2 days if its been cycled then check the ammonia if its over 1.5 its prolly fish poo and waste don't feed them for two days and do a 20% water change with water conditioner if its algae do a slightly larger water chang /add a pleco

o.o That's why we don't keep goldfish in bowls. They need proper sized tanks.
And adding a pleco is just adding another enormous bioload, they usually don't help anything.

Maintaining a tropical fish community aquarium is a journey. Sometimes it is wonderful and other times I want to quit. But overall, I still very much enjoy watching and caring for me little fishies. It's just unfortunate that it is they who suffer from my lack of knowledge regarding chemistry and their complete needs in order to keep everything always in balance and such that I am sure they are always happy and healthy. I have learned the hard way that fish can get worms and diseases inside and out...and need medicine and daily treatments that can last weeks. Learning which worms are bad and which are not so bad and what is the best medicine and treatments, and PREVENTION methods can be very time consuming and even costly. I think that is likely why there are so many used fish tanks for sale online. It is easy to get caught up and before you know it you have tooooo many fish tanks.... LOL.
