I have a Tetra Aquarium Starter Kit, 5 Gallons. I need to know why my water is so cloudy? I have a Vegetarian Piranha, and a Bottom Feeder.

I am also getting a 20g tank soon, I need to know what kind of filter to buy?

Got any pictures they will help a lot? Does this kit come with any filtration?

I sure hope you don't mean a Pacu by "Vegetarian Piranha" and what kind of bottom feeder?
 
A vegetarian Piranha? What's that? A Pacu? And what do you mean by "bottom feeder"? Surely not a plec.
Either way the problem is the tank isn't cycled and the water is cloudy from ammonia. The fish really need taken back to the store and then you can read up on cycling. Not much besides a Betta or shrimp should live in a 5 g.
 
My Vegetarian Piranha looks like this
