Hello! I have 2 betta fish, Rocky(veil tail) and Beau(halfmoon). They both got a brand new 5 gallon tank about 2 weeks ago. Each tank has a little decoration for them to hide in and a couple of plastic plants. I use tap water treated with Api betta water conditioner. Also both tanks have a heater, LED light, and a low-flow filter. Beau's tank is still has crystal clear water but Rocky's water is getting cloudy. What can I do to clear his water?

Cloudy tank water is usually the result of a bacterial bloom. This means the bacteria in the tank has "bloomed", making the tank cloudy. This has happened to me several times, but it should go away with regular water changes. An extra water change could be done, too. It's nothing to worry about though. It's quite common in fish keeping.
Well, of course keep up with your normal ones. But don't go into panic mode and think: I'll do a 50% now and another 90% this evening!
(My mistake, not quite the percentages I used though.)

Hope that makes sense.
Yeah, just don't think heaps water changes will get rid of it...
5 minutes later: It's worse than it was before!
