I agree with all of the advice above. I think you need to let the tank stablize and get a good bacteria cycle going and add fish slowly. And don't add too many fish. Watch for over feeding. My mom used to take all the fish out and boil the gravel, scrub the tank and then everything was cloudy, she took all the good bacteria out of the tank! Live plants good, rocks from backyard not so good. Do not mix community fish with species fish, species fish tend to be very aggresive and will stress and beat up the community fish and they will die a slow undeserving death.
