Answer
Hi Mary,
 Do you have a filter in the bowl?

 You should normally be changing 25% of the water in the tank once a week, every week.
 
 Do not overfeed. Only feed the fish what it will eat in a few minutes and never leave food in there for it to "eat later". Such food rots and clouds the water.
