1. Your tank is not cycled.
2. Your tank is overstocked.
3. With your attitude, you've already been given more help than you deserve.

See the rest of you could have given me constructional criticism like this guy, instead of scolding me and such. Most of you get way to into this, you must have no life, you probably feel like a BA talking like this over the web, and that's the only way you'll ever feel so cool.

Alright man here it is. Your fish will probably live through this. You may lose one or two at the start, but the're all pretty hardy. Your tank will be cloudy because it's not cycled, but if you feed a little less and maybe take a couple fish out of the tank now until it is cycled. A lot of guys on this site get really excited about over stocked tanks and like to go off on people. In my opinion, with proper filtration you can keep all the fish except the red tailed cat and maybe one oscar in there for life. However, you will need at least one more hang on back filter and a canister. You can't fit three big HOB filters on a 75-I tried lol. I would get a emperor 400 or aquaclear 110 next, then later on get a fluval 405 or marineland c-220 or another canister rated around 75 gallons. That should take care of it.
 
By the way, just so you know my 75 with about the equivalent amount of fish (13" Jaguar ciclid, 10" banded leporinus, 8" pleco, and a pair of 3" convicts, has two whisper 60 hob filters (not the best, but I cram a couple extra filter bags or sponges in them for some more bio filtration) and a fluval 304. Water is clear and I never have ammonia/nitrites.

What's there to see? You have 8 fish in a cloudy 75g aquarium that has just been set up. You want to know why the tank is cloudy.


The reason why is;



YOU HAVE TOO MANY FISH IN AN UNCYCLED TANK​

Everyone is giving you a hard time about pressing the limits of your tank. Truth be known...more then likely a good majority push the limits of their tank...I remember threads about the famous overstocked tanks. The difference is that the guys that loaded down their tanks knew a lot about filtration, water changes, knew how to cycle a tank, and were experienced.

You hook up with the right guys on this forum and you will get more help then you ever dreamed. Listen to the sound advice being given and make the adjustments. You may have switch some fish around at a later date.
 
Maybe he meant that he cycled his new tank with his existing tank? You don't have to do the fishless cycle if ur taking the water/filter water from your old tank. I do this all the time and throw in the fish right away with no problems. Anyhow your filtration is not enough. I run a AC70 + Emp 400 on my 38 gallon just for 5 baby pbass and 2 baby catfishes.
