Okay here's the basics. 240 gallon tank. One Arowana, 1 small and 1 large ocsar, and two silver dollars. I run 2 fluval fx6 filters, two bubble wands and two powerheads.
My fish seem to get these white spots on their eyes from time to time. The aro never gets them just the silver dollars and the oscars. They seem to go away after a few days to a week.
The silver dollar scratched himself on some rocks and the marks are white and puffy looking. He also has one cloudy eye. 20181117_210845.jpg 20181117_210918.jpg 20181117_210845.jpg 20181117_210845.jpg 20181117_210918.jpg The Oscar has a big spot on one eye only.

Any ideas?
 
Hard to say. Would check and post ur water quality. The SD looks like it has some fungus on the body. Consider removing some of the decor as the lines on the SD look like scratches. Add some api fungus and a one time dose of salt at 1 tsp per gallon. Hope it clears up.

The aro went nuts today while I was cleaning and the sd was just trying to get out of the way. Lol.
 
Just wanted to give an update. I have cleaned the tank twice as well as the filters. One 50% water change and one 25%. The bacteria on the SD is gone and the white growth on the Ocasr is nearly gone. He was eating fine while it was the worst. But he definitely lost vision for a few days in that eye. He wouldn't come to the front of the tank untill his good eye saw me.
Hw is out swimming more now and seems like his energetic self. The eye is about 75% healed. I did not add any chemicals or antibiotics to the water.
