Hi Guys I'm new here and I need a serious help :cry:
I just bought a 7" jardini. It has slightly cloudy eyes (almost couldn't notice it unless you see the eyes from a very2 close range).

The Problem is when he swim he pretty much hit the glass (looks like couldn't notice the glass) and turn back and keep doing this again and again and he wont eat anything seems like he couldn't notice the food (I use feeder fish for his food).

My question is: Is it consider normal for an Arowana to loose sight when he had cloudy eyes (is it only temporary or permanent)? And what can I do to cure it?

Sorry for the newb question caused I'm worried if my Jardini suddenly turned blind.
 
What are the water parameters? Where did you get the arowana? Was the tank of the source well-maintained? For cloudy eyes, doing plenty of water changes will usually help rectify it. Cloudy eyes is often a result of poor water quality or untreated eye injury.

My Water parameter
pH: currently 6.2
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0

I only had 1 Pleco and 1 Jardini in my tank. I think the water condition should be pretty good. I 'll try to do 70% water changes today.

I got the Arowana from my friend for $5, I think his tank was a little bit cloudy. He said the arowana used to be okay but lately it had cloudy eyes and seems to lose it sight.

Is it normal for Arowana to loose sight when it has cloudy eyes?
 
Unless it is blind, it won't loose sight with cloudy eyes. If both are cloudy, I would say a PH crash is the probable culprit.
Do not change 70% of the water, you may kill the fish.
