The water is turning cloudy? That's perfectly normal at this stage.

Have you read up about how to "cycle" your tank yet? Here is a link that explains it all: The (almost) Complete Guide and FAQ to Fishless Cycling - Aquarium Advice

Hi and welcome! I wouldn't worry about the cloudy water, it's typical. Here's a guide on starting an aquarium that might be of some help: Guide to Starting a Freshwater Aquarium - Aquarium Advice

Read up on cycling. Then read about some fish you might want for future reference and we could help answer any questions you have about certain fish.
