Im assuming your cloudyness is because its not cycled...5 days isnt long enough .although over feeding causes this also....im going on over a month and im not close yet to being cycled.....if you know about the cycle like your info says, what are your readings??

well, i took a sample of my water to petco and all the readings came out good and they told me could take some also im doing the fish cycle and the water was clear when i got home before i feed them so, i think its the food. do you think my giant danio will attack my neon danios cause his alone.

The cloudiness would indicate high levels of ammonia or nitrites. You should be using Prime for water conditioner and doing 25-40% water changes daily until the cycle is completed.

sometimes pet stores arent giving good information because they want to sell things..do you have a test kit of your own to test for amonia and nitrites?? cause from experience, and learning the HARD way, your tank if brand new isnt cycled after 5 days..it takes a few days after setting up a new tank for the amonia to show up..hence the cloudyness ...you seem so excited about the fish so for your own sake, get an API master test liguid kit to test for yourself so no fish will be harmed...
