I noticed two days ago my arowana had clody eyes and a white mess on the front of his head. so i treated my tank with fungus remover and ick gaurd 2. just in case. well now i wake up and look in my tank and all my fish have cloudy eyes but the arowana. what can i treat it with? i did put more fungus stuff in there. what do i need to do in detail if anyone knows? i have all catfish and one arowana. two plecos as well. it looks like there might be small little white dots on two of the fish but it might just be the fungus. but i did treat with ick guard 2. i need help.

dude, cloudy water happens because of dirty water. By the looks of your stocking, you got quite a cramped tank. You should be doing massive water changes weekly and consider a bigger tank (minimum 240+)
 
this is why i dont come to the forums anymore. no one crap. your saying my water is cloudy because of dirty water. too bad i asked why there eyes were cloudy. i figured it out anyways. man the forums are the worst

im sure he meant cloudy eyes. and yes its because ur water has high ammonia, nitrite, or natrate (dirty water)
 
Water conditions could be a cause for cloudy eyes, what are you water parameters? You can treat with salt, one tablespoon per 10 gallons of water and bump up the temp a couple of degrees. It is also good to do a couple of large water changes before you start the salt treatment.
 
my water is fine. i tested everything and its in the norm
 
BTW its only 1% of members that jump on your case ,they just love to give it large,just dont bite thats what they want:)
