Hey guys, i have a silver aro and hes about 8 to 9 inches long. Today i bought a pacu, oscar, and a jack dempsey. I putted them all in my silver aro's tank. Its a 55 gallon. How come after couple hours, everyone's eye starts to get white stuff over the lens. But my aro's eye isnt that serious. Is this some type of a fungus? Theres also like cotton like stuff on the oscar and jack dempsey. I dont think theres anything wrong with my water, because my datnoid is fine.
 
i recently putted pimafix into the water, all it did was create alot of bubbles on the surface, maybe because of the air bubble wand.
 
What are the water parameters? Whay were they before you added the pimafix? Did you do a water change before adding the pimafix?

go out and buy some medicine known as ich and fungus killer. This is sold at walmart and at any lfs. Keep me posted on what happens
 
All those fish in a 55? Are they all babies? What size tank do you have to upgrade them to? My guess is going to be water parameters, with adding 3 (possibly large) fish into your tank at once. Did you mean nirtIte is 0? Because nitrate usually is not 0 unless its a heavily planted tank, no matter how well maintained. What test kit are you using?
 
So like, on one of the eyes, it seems like its getting cloudy. Is this lethal? I just did a 70% water change. And i added pimafix, stress coat, and stress enzyme. And plenty of salt. Anything else i should do?
