Hi Nora,
I think you answered your question yourself, when you said that whenever
you disturb the gravel a big cloud forms. Naturally, this is debris and
waste; much it fish waste and quite possibly some uneaten food too. It's very
important to vacuum as much of this surface as you can, with deeper vacuuming
where there are no plant roots. Otherwise, in time, this will not only
build up, but can increase your ammonia level if there's fish food that's
breaking down. Anaerobic bacteria can start forming in deeper pockets where
uneaten food may have fallen to, and will only serve to putrify (rot) this
waste with resulting noxious gases. You're only asking for trouble by not
addressing this issue, and soomer or later the fishes' health will be affected
