Puffers & goldfish?

I just purchased a FW puffer from Wal-Mart (yes I know, not a reliable source) all it said for care was to feed it flake food and tank mates was goldfish. Well, brought the cute little guy I am assuming is a green spotted puffer by the pics I have seen on your site. He is spotted with a little yellowish/greenish glowing area on his head. I put him in my 44 gallon tank, which is kept very clean (almost like there is no glass there). I also purchased six very small goldfish for my sons baby water snake. I keep them in the tank and just take out two at a time for him to feed to the snake. My problem is, shortly after putting the fish into my tank which already had three fancy fan tailed gold fish, small, medium and extra large, two loaches and two small suckerfishes, the tank became cloudy. The tank is more than adequate to keep him in, he look like a tiny fish in comparison
