well im assuming you have a filter, otherwise GET ONE
and you should be performing water changes at least once a week anyway, but if your tank is still getting dirty real quick, try introducing some snails or a loach, as they will both help to keep your tank clean because they feed on algae

Welcome to our forum.
Your aquarium may be a little over crowded. You should avoid over feeding and make sure to change about 25 percent of the water every week. You can feed the fish twice a day but no more than they eat in a couple of minutes. For the partial water changes, aquarium shops sell a syphon arrangement that has a large diameter tube at the uptake end. This lets you syphon out debris without sucking up the gravel substrate. To replace the water just removed, get tap water to about the same temperature as the aquarium water, and add a good conditioner like Stress Coat.
