Sorry, little bit confused. You say this is a new aquarium with a new filter, have you put an established filtration system back on the tank? If not, then you are going to have to cycle your aquarium which will take several weeks, I certainly wouldn't recommend adding any more fish than you've got, I normally wouldn't recommend using Oscars to cycle the tank, however if you've got it already, there's not much you can do.
As for the sand, this is quite normal, it doesn't matter how many times you wash it, your water will turn a little murky when you put the sand in the tank, it should clear within a few days however.
Maybe you could clarify your situation for us?
