I moved my 2 Mono Argentus's from my 75 gallon into my 125 gallon last night. This morning I noticed a cloudy slightly bulged eye in one of them, and the other eye looks like it has the start of a cloud over right in the center...

Im not sure if this is pop-eye, or if the fish is just losing its vision for some reason, everything else in the tank it was in before the move and after show no signs of this. Is there anythign I can do to help ease this condition or remedy it?

A note, There is no carbon in my 125gallon tank, and the only inhabitants at this time are a scat, figure 8 puffer, pair of orange chromides, pair of mollies, and a columbian shark.
 
Check your water chemistry in the tank odd are its outta whack most likley ammonia-Anne
Well its one of the most common causes of cloudy eye
 
Cloudy cornea can result from a bacterial invasion. also Opaqueness can result from poor nutrition Try foods with added vitamins and changing the diet to include variety.also Blindness can be caused by poor nutrition or excessive light. but more than likely most times, cloudy eyes are related to water quality.
 
^^ will my methods work with constant 20% water changes over the next 5 days? Also, I'd like to add that I DO feed a varried diet including spectrum pellets with thera and vitamins, seaweed, as well as frozen krill, bloodworms, daphnia, and brine shrimp
