Well, I'm not an expert but the foggy water sound like bacteria bloom. I don't know if changing the filter will help. Do you know you water parameters (ammonia, ph, etc.).

no i dont know the parameters. Is it very expensive to purchase this. I knew about water testing. But i do change about a liter of water every 3-4 days. But i look at the bottom of my tank and find flakes of food.

It sounds like you are overfeeding. Cut your feedings to one a day and do 25% water changes for a few days and see if this helps. Only feed enough for them to eat in a couple of minutes then remove any left over food.
