Yep, it should clear out and be fine. Anytime you mess with the filter (waterfall i bet?) it drops some junk in there. In a 20 gal tank it can get pretty cloudy. should be clear by the AM if the tank has enough circulation/filtration.

add some bacterial supplement, maybe a clarifer, feed everyother day, brg a sample of h20 to a petsmart to get it tested. Sounds like maybe when u tossed the old filter you could have lost a large portion of you beneficial bacteria. Time is your best friend. Your fish look cheery and happy, but testing your water could tell you a better story

Do you have a test kit for ammonia / nitrites / nitrates?
