bacteria bloom. how do you clean your filter?... how about lights?
and i'm afraid your tank is not fully cycled yet.

Paul is right, your tank is not cycled. Please read the following link, www.oscarfishlover.com/helpful-articles/cycling-an-aquarium

you really need to return your fish to the store, buy some feeder goldfish, and cycle the tank. This process takes about 5 weeks to complete.

I hope this helps

yes and also if your filtration is not up to par, it will be a neverending bacterial bloom. you can also do a fishless cycle, if you wanna know how just post a reply.

What size tank and what kind of filtration? (media type, GPH, etc..)
