So I got a bunch of new buddies for my cichlid community tank a green terror, a red tiger oscar, and a sengal bichir, and a Managuense Cichlid. but before i stuck them in i need to move some of the bigger fish to my new 180g. so i moved both my ornate bichirs, my jack dempsy, and my red oscar. they are all in the 180g now but when i went back out and was looking at the red oscar i notice his right eye kinda had like a blury kind of film in the front of the eye. this wasn't there before what could it be and will it go away and how can i help him?
 
I've seen this happen to fish when they are quickly switched to a tank with different parameters than the tank that they were moved from. It makes their eyes cloudy. It usually goes away in a few hours if this is the case. The Oscar's eye could have been injured too.
 
Same thing happened to me when I got my O last month....not sure what it was....but did some small daily water changes for a few days and it went away. Hasn't been back since.
