Help...Need a 2nd opinion

[FunWow!]

Hi i have a couple of fish that have cloudy eyes but not sure if its cloudy eye or something else. Some have cottony growths on their eyes and then some have the haze on the lens of them. Ive been treating since friday. At one point some fish had cotton like growths on their bodys. Those are now all gone. On friday only one fish had what i thought was cloudy eye now 5 have it.

I've seen this time and again in tanks with extremely high nitrates. If you don't mind-post the tank size, tankmates, WC shedule, ammon/nitrites/nitrates. It could be any number of things but until there's a bit of history, it's hard to tell.

Agreed also what do you have for filtration on your tank.

The tank size is a 125/ 2 aqua clear 500 and powerhead 70 with micro filter. Water changes are every 1 1/2 weeks. I change about 30% everytime. Tankmates 3 pbass, 3 polys, 1 pike, 1 oscar, and a geo and i check my water all the time and nitrates and all that are usually in check the only thing i noticed was my ph got a little low just before this happenned its all set now.

Did you check your ammonia levels? Most of the time fish get cloudy eyes it's from having a high amount of ammonia. Do partial water changes every 2 days and if it's ammonia, the eyes should clear up with no problems. I don't know about the cotton looking growths but you might have 2 different problems at the same time. Keep us updated, The Doctor.
