is it a white cloudy?? This is usually an indication that the tank is really beginning to cycle and is sometimes called a "bacterial bloom" Basically, your tank has started to grow the necessary bacteria to keep your fish safe. This hobby takes patience, so don't be in such a rush
Do you have a test kit? You need to monitor Ammonia Nitrite and Nitrate levels...it usually takes about 2 weeks or so for a tank to completely cycle. After 2 weeks, if you test your water and get 0 ppm for Ammonia and Nitrite, then you can add some fish.
If you choose, you can help the cycle alog by adding 1-3 hardy fish such as zebra danios and guppies. Why did you add salt to the water? Are you starting a freshwater or saltwater tank? Salt isn't necessary and can be downright harmful to many freshwater fish.
Hope I helped at least a little bit...

Shake - it's much more humane to do a fishless cycle.
But, honestly, When I started my first tank 6 months ago, I cycled it with 2 guppies and they lived a good long time. Until the tail rot outbreak in my tank, they were happy and healthy. As long as you monitor the water levels and do daily waterchanges if the levels get too high, I don't think the stress is to hard on them. It's not ideal, but not deadly if done correctly.
