Looks like something is going on with my Ornate. His eyes are cloudy and popped out. His stomach has some redness and his dorsal fins are puffing up. What's the deal with him?

I would say its the poor water quality, maybe the chlorine, did you chance the water recently? add salt and bump up the heater. Usually cloudy eye will disappear with frequent water chance, but use stock water instead. If necessary, it maybe best to quarantine the ornate.
oh man, that looks harsh... I'm no expert, so all I can say are same things as the other ppl posted. Quality water, quarantine, salt, nutrition... if those doesn't work, try medication, which I'm not so sure which ones, most likely antibiotics. Prophylactic antibiotics shouldn't hurt (well in human cases though). good luck and hope he gets well!
