Tonight when I was feeding my fish in my temporairly divided 75 gallon tank, I saw that my smaller angelfish got a cloudy eye in only one eye. I just agot an armatus so I was seperating my Armatus with my other fish which are my large mouth bass,3 bichirs and 2 angel fish. I side with the armatushas all the curret and filters while the other side where I keep my other fish has nothing.

Isaw that my lmb was chasing the small angel with the cloudy eyes in the confined area. Is it stress that cause it?
I research all the factors of cloudy eyes such as:

.no vitimin A

.PH problem

.Protozoa

.dirty water

What are the factors?? I have every fish (except for the armatus in one area with no filter) so could the dirty water be a factor?

Also I heard that a divided tank have significantly different PH. Could the side of the tank with no current have the PH that cause cloudy eye?

I do a 50% water change a week.

IS CLOUDY EYE CONTAIGIOUS??

I have a 5 gallon hospital tank that i can easily set up. I don't have any filter with it. Can i quarenteen the angelfish with it?
 
A couple of issues I see here. First a LMB and an anglefish are not suitable tank mates. One clody eye could be an injury, it can also be caused by an underlying bacterial infection. Dirty water is arguably the number cause of issues with fish kept in aquaria. I would seriously rethink your stocking, this is a disaster in the making. You could qt the angle in the 5 gal tank as a temporary measure but not without filteration and a heater. A 75 gallon tank is not suitable for the long term housing of a LMB either and tank mates compound the issue. Please rethink the whole thing, this is a bad situation. Sorry I realy can't help beyond this advice.
