Ok i have a 14g tank Which I had about two months and a 55g I've had about three weeks, I was wondering y in my 14g is it so cloudy and my55g is clear a a bell. I only have my Pleco in the 14 n 6 zebra dianos 5 tetras 2 mickey mouse fish and a sunburst platy. Can someone please help me out
 
Is your water white cloudy or Dark cloudy? I am assuming that it is a bacteria bloom which was caused from the water quality, usually caused by New-tank setup (Not the problem in your case), overfeeding, overstocking (Which seems to be the cause As I know of), Meds., or Ph not balanced.

My best solution is to do 25-50% water changes everyday until it goes away. And since your going to put these fish in the 55 once its cycled, You shouldnt have this in the tank. :)

p.s What are your parameters?

If I read correctly you have all the fish in the 14G, maybe is cloudy because looks overcrowded to me.
Just my opinion.
